She has found the woman she wants to spend her life with, she has received her inheritance, so she is able to be active and pursue goals for herself and her property. ![]() ![]() Having read Helena Whitbread’s book first, though, I didn’t worry too much about what I was missing.Īnother advantage Female Fortune has over the other books I have read so far is simply that it focuses on a more interesting section of Anne Lister’s life. Many of the entries were reduced to merely a handful of lines, and days or weeks were skipped entirely. And it also edits her diary extracts of much of the tedious detail she tended to include. It does a great job of putting both her and her diary extracts in context. This has been my favourite of the Anne Lister books I’ve read so far. ![]()
