Anne Lister (1791-1840) was a Yorkshire 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. Lister kept a detailed account of her life, her loves and her emotions in her journal. A sizeable portion was written in code and the deciphering of these diaries provides an astonishing insight into the life of Britain’s first modern lesbian. (Madrid International Gay and Lesbian Film Festival)
