Gentleman Jack

Meer over het boek

The book chronicles the life of Anne Lister, a pioneering figure born in 1791 in Yorkshire, who defied societal norms by choosing to write for a living despite being a girl in a male-dominated family. Her journey of self-discovery and resilience is captured in her extensive daily journal, which she maintained from 1817 until her death in 1840. Through her writings, Lister offers a unique perspective on her experiences and the challenges she faced as an early advocate for women's independence and identity.
