Anne Lister was an incredible woman who, in Regency Yorkshire, lived life on her own terms. Refusing to marry, she defied convention, yet become a wealthy landowner, industrialist and traveller; she also took lovers and even 'married' another woman. Anne kept a detailed account of her life, loves and emotions in a fascinating four-million-word journal. A sizeable portion of the journal was written in code, which Helena Whitbread spent decades deciphering and editing into this astonishing book.
