Gentleman Jack: A biography of Anne Lister, Regency Landowner, Seducer and Secret Diarist | 
pickThis account of the life & loves of Anne Lister (no relation) is thorough, not at all salacious (OK, just a little 😉) and absolutely astonishing. What a woman! She owned her sexuality without shame or apology. She romped up mountains & across Russia & rode rough shod over Society's expectations & limitations. And had a lot of sex - at one point she was dallying with 3 women all staying in the same house! But for all her trail blazing...cont. ⬇️⬇️
readingjedi From above...fearlessness, I didn't like her at all. In fact, I found her highly unpleasant. Egotistical, selfish, mercenary, manipulative, overbearing and totally self-absorbed. I wonder if she truly cared for any of her conquests or she just saw them in terms of what they could do/provide for her. 3y
RaeAragorn @readingjedi I feel that she was a proud and strong woman who over compensated for her gender by being loud, bold, and salacious. But I choose to believe that it was her armor, and not who she was underneath. 3y
