Pleasantly surprised by how accurate the TV series turns out to have portrayed the real Anne Lister. By focusing on the part of Anne’s life that the first season portrays, this is a wonderful introduction to the real Anne before continuing with other biographies that tell more about the parts of her life that weren’t portrayed on screen.

Fun little peak into Anne Lister’s life. Doesn’t add much beyond the narrative of the show. It was nice to see quotes from the diaries to appreciate Lister’s voice and eccentricities. Also complicates her narrative with politics, which I think is something good to know rather than to gloss over,

Minor: Death, Religious bigotry

There are sections that discuss political/scientific views of the time that are inherently racist. Also some level of non-consent/questionable consent/mental ability to consent that occur between Lister and Walker.
