The Secret Diaries of Miss Anne Lister

This bold and passionate drama tells the story of Anne Lister (1791-1840). She was a lesbian, who, despite needing to keep her orientation secret from society, in private defied the conventions of her times by living with her female lover. The recent decoding of her 4,000,000-word journal provides an astonishing insight into the life of the woman who has been called Britain's first modern lesbian.
