This second volume continues the story of one of the most remarkable women of her time: Anne Lister. She was determined to live her life on her own terms, both financially and sexually. She wrote extensive diaries in 'crypthand', which allowe her to record her life in intimate, and sometimes explicit, detail. And Anne's descriptive writing brings each scene vividly to life, providing a kaleidoscopic background to her story. With the transcribtion by Whitbread lesbian history has changed.
