The author did not read and transcribe the journal entries quoted herself, unlike others on this list. The result is a somewhat narrow (and unfairly negative) framing of Anne Lister's character emphasizing salacious stories and containing some verifiably incorrect, non-factual information. I love and only love the fairer sex, and thus beloved by them in turn, my heart revolts from any love but theirs,” Lister wrote in her diary in 1820. Before she eventually settled down with heiress Ann Walker, Lister won the hearts of numerous other women. Courting them wasn’t always easy, but Lister had her methods. While flirting, she used to gauge the other party’s interest by mentioning books or plays that dealt with LGBTQ issues—like the writings of Juvenal, a Roman poet who had some pretty strong opinions about homosexuality. By watching the listener’s reaction, Lister could often predict if her advances would be successful. 2. Traditionally “feminine” clothing just wasn’t Lister’s style. She was an egomaniac, finding fault in all of her lovers for swathes of reasons, all of them demonstrating more about Anne's personality flaws and inflated pride than damning any of her rejected women. She found some too unintelligent, others weren't rich enough, others too far below her in social standing. She didn't like any woman who had slept with a man, preferring virgins who had not been 'spoiled.' She didn't like her lovers to be assertive, preferring them passive and docile both in the bedroom and in day to day life.Metcalf, Mitch (26 April 2022).

Focusing on Anne Lister and Eliza Raine's relationship since their teenage years, this book primarily covers 1804-1825, including numerous letter transcripts between them, as well as Eliza's end of life care. Anne and Miss Walker's relationship begins to become intimate. Anne proposes a future with Miss Walker of them living together as a married couple. Miss Walker responds by saying they should wait six months before committing. The Rawson brothers try to outmanoeuvre Anne in the coal business by making a low offer. Mr. Booth proposes marriage to Eugénie to protect her honour. Feeling powerless, Marian threatens her sister by saying she will marry a man to bear a male heir and challenge the ownership of Shibden. When Anne realises that Sam Sowden, one of her tenants who is working with her on the coal mine, arrived to work drunk she dismisses him. Sowden's drunken threats force his son Thomas to take him home and tie him up. Later on, Thomas kills him and feeds him to the family pigs. More than 40 years after her death, while reporting on a dispute over the ownership of Shibden Hall, the Leeds Times in 1882 stated, "Miss Lister's masculine singularities of character are still remembered".
