These remarkable diaries are a piece of lost lesbian history. Anne Lister defied the role of womanhood seen in the novels of Jane Austen: she was bold, fiercely independent, a landowner, industrialist, traveller ? and lesbian. She kept extensive diaries, written partly in code, of her life and loves. The diaries have been edited by Helena Whitbread, who spent years decoding and transcribing them. '[Anne Lister's] sense of self, and self-awareness, is what makes her modern to us. She was a woman exercising conscious choice. She controlled her cash and her body. At a time when women had to marry, or be looked after by a male relative, and when all their property on marriage passed to their husband, Anne Lister not only dodged the traps of being female, she set up a liaison with another woman that enhanced her own wealth and left both of them free to live as they wished ...The diaries gave me courage' Jeanette Winterson 'Engaging, revealing, at times simply astonishing: Anne Lister's diaries are an indispensable read for anyone interested in the history of gender, sexuality, and the intimate lives of women' Sarah Waters

評分一個又mean又可愛的有趣的靈魂。對M是真愛瞭,捂胸口。但這本書是怎麼迴事,上一秒還是開開心心要去巴黎開啓人生新篇章,下一秒就是訃告,吃得準嗎……(老李在Place Vendome住過,再次捂胸口......
評分看著有點吃力,中途放棄瞭,之後有空再撿起來吧。太多縮寫,太多生僻詞匯。
