Annelister tribute is my project to explore the life of Anne Lister (1791-1840). Through available material and my serendipity research, I want to promote a greater understanding of Anne Lister and her lesbian openness in her time. I drew a series of close-ups inspired by Anne Lister’s diaries. Anne wrote detailed diaries about her daily life. A sixth of Anne’s diaries are written in a code she developed. These parts of the diaries document her passionate love affairs with other women. Anne was open about her sexuality and talked about her many romantic encounters. Anne Lister challenged society’s expectations of what and who a woman should be in her time. The diaries give a good insight into Anne’s life as a landowner, businesswoman and curious and active traveller. Instagram: annelistertribute
