Podcasts about Anne Lister

In partnership with our supporter, SAYiT (an LGBTQ+ youth charity in South Yorkshire), we talked to Jennifer van Gessel, an Australian writer and producer, who is writing a gothic film about Anne Lister called 'Langton'. The film is still in pre-production so instead we delved into her knowledge about Anne Lister's diaries - as she has done a lot of research for the film! Whether you are an Anne Lister super nerd or just starting your Anne adventure, jump into this episode and hear about her many escapades and the types of timeframes that Jennifer is looking to for her upcoming film. This episode was created as part of 2025's LGBTQ+ History Month and was hosted by Fiona Moorcroft (she/her) from SAYiT. Got a question, theme or guest to suggest for the podcast?

Joining me, Kelly-Anne Taylor, in the studio is the actress Suranne Jones. Born and raised in Greater Manchester, she first rose to prominence playing Karen McDonald in ITV's Coronation Street. After leaving the soap, she has cemented herself as one of Britain's finest actresses – winning a BAFTA for her performance as Gemma Foster in Doctor Foster, and critical acclaim for her role as Anne Lister in Gentleman Jack and Amy Silva in Vigil. In this episode we discuss the early days of her career – and how press intrusion and the era of lad mags, impacted her relationship with her body. And, she talks bravely about her mental health breakdown in 2018 – and the coping mechanisms and boundaries she has put in place since then. Plus, we also discuss her brand new documentary Suranne Jones: Investigating Witch Trials. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Eleanor Medhurst joins us today to talk about Unsuitable: A History of Lesbian Fashion (Hurst & Company, 2024). Clothes are integral to lesbian history. Lesbians, in turn, are integral to the history of fashion. The way that we dress can help us to present who we are to the world, or it can help us to hide ourselves. It can align us with a community or make us stand out from the crowd. For lesbians, fashion can have innumerable meanings - yet "lesbian fashion" is rarely considered, the main association between lesbians and their clothes being of un-fashionability.  In Unsuitable, Eleanor Medhurst explores the history of lesbian fashion, a field that has been overwhelmingly ignored within both fashion and queer histories. Unsuitable uncovers the relationships between lesbians and their clothes as well as their fashionable details, from top hats to violet tiaras. It spans centuries and continents: Anne Lister of nineteenth century Yorkshire and "Paris Lesbos" of the 1920s, butch/femme bar culture of the 1950s and lesbian activists in the '80s. It celebrates Black lesbian histories, trans lesbian histories, and histories of gender-nonconformity. The lesbian past is slippery; it has often deliberately been hidden, altered or left unrecorded. This book lights it up and shares it with the world, adorned in all its finery. Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome back to Lez Hang Out, the podcast that wants to know if you wear Docs, Crocs, or Birkenstocks.  This week Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with Eleanor Medhurst (@dressingdykes), lesbian fashion historian and author of both the blog Dressing Dykes and the soon-to-be-released book, Unsuitable: A History of Lesbian Fashion, to talk about lesbian, and more broadly, queer, fashion throughout the ages. Although often subtle to the heterosexual observer, the decision to dress in a way that pushes the envelope on what is considered acceptable is one that queer people have made time and time again, often at great risk to their personal safety. As times and laws regarding acceptable dress have changed, queer fashion has followed suit, making it possible for historians like Eleanor to track these changes through recorded history.  Fashion provides a rather useful historical record of queerness, shifting over time to reflect the ever-moving needle of societal acceptability. The modern lesbian uniform of “Docs, Crocs, and Birkenstocks”, flannels, beanies, and carabiners did not just crop up one day out of nowhere, but instead developed out of a necessity for queer people to both flag themselves as outside of the norm and to find one another in an otherwise heteronormative world. Nowadays, lesbians in many areas of the world have the opportunity to dress however they would like, whether that be more masculine, androgynous, feminine or all over the spectrum. Sadly, not very long ago, that was simply not the case. Due to laws like New York's 3-piece Clothing Law ( which required people to wear at minimum 3 pieces of “correctly-gendered” clothing), queer people of the past had to be extremely cautious of their fashion choices or risk being arrested. This can make it a little more difficult to track queer people through history, as of course, the ones who make more risky fashion choices are often the ones who make it into the history books. Those who fell in line with the laws of the time, typically femmes, were mostly invisible outside of the lens of a more masculine-presenting partner.  In addition to providing a way for queer people to look back and see ourselves represented throughout all of time, fashion is still used in modern media to express things about the characters to the audience. Take Gentleman Jack, for instance. While the show was based on the very real person, Anne Lister, some things were changed about Anne's fashion to make her more understandable as “outside of society's norms” to a modern audience. The real Anne Lister never would have worn a top hat on the regular and likely would have worn a more typical bonnet like other women of the time. However, the showrunners did not feel that this look would make Anne stand out quite enough and chose to give her a top hat to more strongly emphasize her masculinity and power. Eleanor's book, Unsuitable: A History of Lesbian Fashion, will be available beginning June 1st and is available for pre-order now.

History Gap is back with a new series and a new co-host. Join (extremely) amateur history fans comedy writer Mollie Goodfellow and creator and producer Jorja McAndrew as they educate themselves on some of the cool women from the past that they didn't learn about in history lessons - mostly because they weren't listening.  From Junko Tabei, incredible mountain climber, to Anne Lister, dubbed the ‘first modern lesbian', History Gap is a snappy look at the stories of women who were doing brave, exciting, sometimes evil and always interesting things with new episodes dropping weekly.

Nous sommes le 30 novembre 1832. L'anglaise Anne Lister, propriétaire terrienne, à la tête de différentes entreprises , future conquérante de sommets pyrénéens, épistolière et autrice d'un journal en 26 volumes et lesbienne assumée, adresse une lettre au grand amour de sa vie. Elle écrit : « D'une manière ou d'une autre, ma chère Mary, votre lettre me réconforte… Vous m'avez presque convaincue d'oublier tout ce que j'ai ambitionné dans ma vie, et de croire que je me porte mieux dans l'état actuel des choses que si j'avais une compagne. À défaut de connaître le plaisir, la peine me sera épargnée et je pourrai certainement me débarrasser des démons qui ne font pas bon ménage avec un tempérament comme le mien… Vous serez agréablement surprise en me voyant. Je passe mes journées au grand air par tous temps et je m'en porte bien. Je suis bien plus forte qu'il y a quelques mois et mon esprit, si longtemps sous la coupe de la tyrannie du désenchantement, reprend de la vigueur en retrouvant sa flexibilité de jadis. Je n'arrête pas de me promettre de partir en janvier, mais cela ne sera peut-être pas possible, vu toutes les affaires en cours qui sont loin d'être résolues. (…) » De son vivant, on la surnommait « Gentleman Jack », Jack étant la manière vulgaire de désigner une femme couchant avec d'autres femmes. Plus tard, on dira d'elle qu'elle fut la première lesbienne moderne ». Partons à la rencontre d'Anne Lister … Invitée : Eliane Van den Ende, historienne. Sujets traités : Anne Lister, anglaise, lesbienne, Pyrénnée, Gentleman Jack Merci pour votre écoute Un Jour dans l'Histoire, c'est également en direct tous les jours de la semaine de 13h15 à 15h sur www.rtbf.be/lapremiere Retrouvez tous les épisodes d'Un Jour dans l'Histoire sur notre plateforme Auvio.be : https://auvio.rtbf.be/emission/5936 Et si vous avez apprécié ce podcast, n'hésitez pas à nous donner des étoiles ou des commentaires, cela nous aide à le faire connaître plus largement.

It has been decades since Michel Foucault urged us to rethink "the repressive hypothesis" and see new forms of sexual discourse as coming into being in the nineteenth century, yet the term "Victorian" still has largely negative connotations. LGBT Victorians: Sexuality and Gender in the Nineteenth-Century Archives (Oxford UP, 2022) argues for re-visiting the period's thinking about gender and sexual identity at a time when our queer alliances are fraying. We think of those whose primary self-definition is in terms of sexuality (lesbians, gay men, bisexuals) and those for whom it is gender identity (intersex and transgender people, genderqueers) as simultaneously in coalition and distinct from each other, on the assumption that gender and sexuality are independent aspects of self-identification. Re-examining how the Victorians considered such identity categories to have produced and shaped each other can ground a more durable basis for strengthening our present LGBTQ+ coalition. LGBT Victorians draws on scholarship reconsidering the significance of sexology and efforts to retrospectively discover transgender people in historical archives, particularly in the gap between what the nineteenth century termed the sodomite and the hermaphrodite. It highlights a broad range of individuals (including Anne Lister, and the defendants in the "Fanny and Stella" trial of the 1870s), key thinkers and activists (including Karl-Heinrich Ulrichs and Edward Carpenter), and writers such as Walt Whitman and John Addington Symonds to map the complicated landscape of gender and sexuality in the Victorian period. In the process, it decenters Oscar Wilde and his imprisonment from our historical understanding of sexual and gender nonconformity. Simon Joyce is Professor of English, College of William and Mary. He holds a BA and MA from the University of Sussex and a PhD from the University of Buffalo. He is a Professor of English at the College of William and Mary in Virginia, where he teaches Victorian and modernist literature from Britain and Ireland and LGBTQI+ Studies. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand.

Emma Donoghue's new novel has been decades in the making. “Learned by Heart” tells the story of two young teenagers, Anne Lister and Eliza Raine, who fall in love at their boarding school in England in 1805. Except these characters aren't that of fiction — they actually existed. Emma tells Tom about when she first discovered the story, how Anne Lister changed her life, and how it feels to finally finish this novel.

“My specialty is digging up obscure stories where there are just enough facts to really stimulate the imagination.”  Emma Donoghue's newest novel, Learned by Heart, tells the story of young, enigmatic Anne Lister and her first love, an orphaned heiress born in India. Donoghue joins us to talk about the role Anne Lister has played in her life, crowdsourcing research, the importance of historical fiction and more with guest host, Jenna Seery. We end this episode with TBR Topoff book recommendations from Marc and Mary.  This episode of Poured Over was hosted by Jenna Seery and mixed by Harry Liang.            Follow us here for new episodes Tuesdays and Thursdays (with occasional Saturdays).       Featured Books (Episode):  Learned by Heart by Emma Donoghue  Room by Emma Donoghue  The Wonder by Emma Donoghue  Pull of the Stars by Emma Donoghue  Haven by Emma Donoghue  Slammerkin by Emma Donoghue  Tom Lake by Ann Patchett  Featured Books (TBR Topoff):  Matrix by Lauren Groff  Fingersmith by Sarah Waters   

Shiromi Arserio is the ideal choice for this touching novel about two 14-year-old girls who attend a boarding school in York, England, in 1805. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile's Robin Whitten discuss Arserio's compassionate portrayal of these unforgettable characters. Arserio vividly conveys the emotional complexities of Eliza Raine, a lonely, wealthy orphan from India, and Anne Lister, an audacious, highly intelligent tomboy. The social outcasts quickly become inseparable, and their friendship blossoms into desire and poignant first love. Then Anne flees the school, leaving Raine behind.

We continue our celebration of Pride Month with Anne Lister - diarist, mountaineer, business woman, travel writer, and of course, lesbian! Lister was the first woman to do many things, including, by many accounts, the first 'same sex' marriage in England. Her preserved and beautifully detailed diaries give us a glimpse into so many facets of life that we may not have otherwise had access to. 

Happy Pride Month everyone! To celebrate, we're discussing season one of the HBO series Gentleman Jack, based on the real life story of Anne Lister: an avid journalist, a lover of women and a real "I like to bring my thermometer with me on holiday!" kinda gal.

Anne Lister avoids her feelings and takes off for Europe (She's a runner, she's a track star!) Ann Walker is stuck in Scotland with a bunch of kids. Marianna, agent of chaos, gets on my last nerve. Share this episode with a friend, and stay connected on Instagram @landedladies

Anne Lister ha pasado a la historia por ser una de las primeras lesbianas de la Historia Moderna que vivió su vida bastante lesbianamente para el momento en el que le tocó vivir, pero, claro, tenía la suerte de ser una privilegiada, con tierras y dinero y esas cosas que te permiten hacer, más o menos, lo que quieres. Se "casó" por la iglesia, anglicana, eso sí, y el comillas es porque no fue oficial, o sea, que no hubo papeles, porque eso no podía ser en la época, pero por la vicaría que pasaron ella y su esposa, Ann Walker. La historia de Anne Lister es de película, y por eso hasta le han hecho una serie, aunque no supimos nada de su vida hasta los años 80, cuando se descubrieron sus diarios.

For this episode, I'm joined by Rachel Vorona Cote (@RVoronaCote), author of the excellent book Too Much: How Victorian Constraints Still Bind Women Today to talk about the concept of “too muchness” (or, how social norms and expectations constrain women's bodies, minds, and sexualities). Specifically, we looked at too muchness and the BBC series on HBO Gentleman Jack, a series based on the diaries of Anne Lister, aka “the first modern lesbian" who lived from 1791 to 1840. We talked about too muchness and: Anne Lister's gender and sexuality, women's mental health and the threat of institutionalization, and lots more. It was GREAT.Get Oh, I Like That merch here! This episode was produced by Sally and Rachel and edited by Aram Vartian. Our logo was designed by Amber Seger (@rocketorca).

Dans Historiquement Vôtre, Clémentine Portier-Kaltenbach vous raconte le destin de celle que l'on présente, en Angleterre, comme la “première lesbienne moderne”. Dès l'âge de 15 ans, Anne Lister (1791-1840), consigne en effet les moindres détails de sa vie dans son journal intime… Y compris ses nombreuses relations amoureuses avec des femmes, qu'elle n'hésitera pas à vivre au grand jour.

I'm back! Ainsworth comes to town, Ann Walker is indecisive (again), and Anne Lister gets her ass beat (at least she got her flirt on at the bookstore first #GayPanic). This is Gentleman Jack, Season 1 Episode 5. Follow on IG @landedladies

Are you a card carrying Daughter of Bilitis? This week Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with writer and English teacher Kirsty Loehr (@KirstyLoehr) to talk about her book, A Short History of Queer Women, which teaches readers about the women throughout history that were very much not “just friends” in a way that is both informative and incredibly funny. Although the historical stories of queer women tend to be depressing, Kirsty imbues her work with humor that really helps to showcase who these women were rather than focusing on the tragedy of their circumstances. If you've ever wondered where some of the lesbian stereotypes and jokes we use today originated from, this book is one you need to pick up. Queer women have been around forever. We didn't just disappear after Sappho and reappear with Ellen, and yet much of our history is ignored or purposefully re-written to be less queer than it was. For example, the Daughters of Bilitis invented the idea of the card-carrying lesbian. Not only did they invent the very first lesbian magazine, but they also had membership cards and a manifesto and everything! They were very dedicated to the cause. Queer people have always been incredibly inventive and creative. Going back all the way to Sappho, she literally invented the guitar pick so that she could cut her nails to pleasure women while maintaining her ability to play the guitar. Ingenious! On behalf of musical queers everywhere, thank you Sappho. If you enjoyed Gentleman Jack, you won't want to miss us talking to Kirsty about Anne Lister and the way the show captured the experience of being a lesbian in that time period where most people could not even conceive of the idea of two women being anything but friends. We also talk about former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt and the incredibly romantic letters she used to exchange with her “friend” Lorena Hickok (whom she nicknamed Hick). They were clearly having a love affair and yet people still deny it to this day. We mourn for the more explicit letters that Hick actually burned rather than choosing to expose Eleanor. Surely if those letters had not been burned, there would be less of a debate around whether they were actually a couple. It is important to look back on the history of queer women and to learn about the sapphics who helped us get to where we are today. They could never have even imagined a world where they could marry and have a family with another woman and to forget their contributions would be a disservice to queer women everywhere.
