Here in France, even if we know Anne as a prominent modern lesbian, we still fondly remember her as one of the first climber of the mighty Vignemale. Near the mountain and the Ossoue Glacier, lying on the French/Spain border, and overlooking the path she took to climb up the mountain, there's now a famous pass called "Lady Lister pass". Bravo miss lister!

There's nothing wrong with her prefacing her comment by saying she's not a lesbian. The lesbianism of this video's subject is one of the main features of the profile. So it's totally understandable that the OP would state, "that's not something I have in common with this person, however....". It's nothing to be over-sensitive about. I really don't think the OP intended any disrespect, so there's no need to look for it.

The woman, Helena, who is narrating and decoding Anne’s diary is extremely intelligent and quite the expert on her topic. I’m very impressed by this little documentary. Anne was quite a woman!

It was used as a slur to suggest that LGBTQ people were somehow abnormal or wrong for a long time and has since been reclaimed by the community. It's actually where the Q in LGBTQ comes from!

As a film director I have worked on a wide range of heritage video projects over the years, and have to say that this was one of the most curious and insightful projects I have ever been asked to direct. I found Helena Whitbread to be an extremely knowledgeable person regarding the period, the person and the personality of Anne Lister. As Helena has that remarkable ability of being able to talk about Anne as if she were a living, close friend, Helena's intimate understanding is not surprising considering the time she has spent decrypting the diaries/journals and absorbing the information. I am very privileged to have worked on this film and truly delighted that so many have found it as fascinating, interesting and inspirational as I did when interviewing Helena Whitbread and being introduced to the remarkable Anne Lister.

I completely agree - what a lovely, knowledgeable, non-judgemental, simpatico presenter Helena is. I never took my eyes off her. My only disappointment is how often she'd be talking about some emotional human interaction, and it would be illustrated by a photo of a house or a landscape, which utterly took the wind out of her narrational sails. This annoyed me so much that by about 16 minutes in I was ready to quit. I really think the director of this video missed very badly on that count. Luckily, Helena's warm voice and friendly demeanor got me through to the end of this otherwise excellent summary of a great lady's too-short life.

What a legend!! What a legacy! I am 49 and came out at 42. One disastrous marriage to a man and two children later I came out. I am happier than I have ever been. Inspirational vlog thank you so much xx

I was fortunate to tour Shibden Hall when someone who knew the house and the stories showed me secrets and hidden parts of the house. Seeing the door to the bedroom where Annes partner barricaded herself after Anne’s death, the axe marks where they broke through the heavy wooden door to take her away, so they could gain the house brought shivers to me and tears for her plight.

I am so excited to find this story. I have been watching “Gentleman Jack” and wanted to find out about the real Ann Lister. Thank you Helen for your research and bringing her story to light.

Thank you for this, utterly fascinating. Sexuality, however experienced between two human beings is as old as the earth itself. Women like Ann have lived in this world since it began, lesbianism like homosexuality has a rightful place in human experience, and must be respected and allowed its freedom.

It took a very long time for women to be taken seriously and capable as any man.

Am so in love with Ann Lister, for taking her story to the world in ""Gentleman jack""

I am very grateful. As a lesbian born in the sixties it still is extremely hard for women to deal with their lives openly. Most cases of problems are politicians and silly religious beliefs that are people who take bits and pieces of the bible and think they have the right to judge others. When loving another human to me is a blessing. Anne Lister was awesome! I am glad that someone finally brought her to life. Thank you so much to this woman who has studied and revealed all that she was. So many suffer with situations that they cannot control like religion or absolute ignorance of women being equal. Its a wonderful thing you did for us by giving us the memories of this strong female. Thank you and Best wishes

In the tv series i love the way she cut her eyes i really think she wanted someone to love and have them love het back the same way.

Thank you for writing the book and telling the truth! I'm a 55 yr old lesbian that came out at age 19 in 1986... was super tough then and now having my doc office in a very homophobic area for 30 yrs, and dating a black woman where there are like 3 black people in our county! 2022 and women, black women and all lesbian women are still fighting for our rights.

Never knew who Anne Lister was until hearing about the TV series "Gentleman Jack" (which I have yet to watch). Nevertheless she was quiet an extraordinary woman for her time and has endured so today. Am now intrigued to learn more about Anne and her stunning achievements in the face of obstacles and sexual mores of her era.
