Anne Lister, Ann Walker and me: The amazing true story of two 19th century landed-ladies whose courage and determination to share life's journey together as a married couple is an inspiration to lesbians across the globe.My own journey to discover how it came about that Anne Lister and Ann Walker fell in love and moved in together at Shibden Hall, Halifax, in 1834, started when I had been transcribing Anne Lister's diaries for the West Yorkshire Archive Service.during 2019 and 2020.From my transcribing of Anne Lister's diaries, I soon came to the conclusion that she was an extremely intelligent, well-educated and highly engaging person, but that the key to truly recognising the extraordinary woman that she was, was an appreciation of what she referred to as her 'oddity', essentially her lesbian nature, the powerful driving force of her life.
