Hey ho and welcome to our very first #HistoricalNightcap installment of #GentlemanJackCrack! In this episode we take a look at a number of entries from Anne’s early life as a jaunty baby gay and the harrowing aftermath of trying to wife Vere Hobart. We also discuss Anne’s diary entry where she mentions meeting with a young Ann Walker who “overtook her”, and Mariana, Mariana, Mariana... Join us with a beverage of your choosing, as we take a deeper look into the extraordinary life of Anne Lister.
