Summary
Meet Anne Lister, the 18th-century landowner, industrialist, explorer, lesbian and feminist icon. This is her story....
Anne was different from society’s expectations of a woman at the time: she not only did not wish to marry, but she also did not want to conform. Anne was interested only in women and had ‘marriage’ ceremonies with Mariana Lawton and later Ann Walker. She spent a great deal of time studying, managed her own estates, sought business opportunities, travelled widely and climbed mountains.
In this full-cast BBC Radio 4 dramatisation written by Mary Cooper and starring Deborah McAndrew as Anne, we meet the serial diarist as she describes her life, her loves and the societal changes happening around her.

Enjoyed listening to the letter and diaries of Ann

Great
As a fan of Anne lister I really enjoyed listening to the early years, I found the narrating very clear & easy to distinguish each character.
I just wished it could have gone on longer & hope there will be more in the future.

BORING ACTING & STORY
Disappointing production. Wooden amateur acting in a laborious diary of Victorian love. Sent me to sleep.
