Durante la loro luna di miele, #AnneLister e #AnnWalker fecero anche un breve passaggio in #Italia!
In realtà erano già entrate qualche giorno prima nel territorio dell'allora Regno di Sardegna (contrabbandando dei fazzoletti sotto il naso dei Carabinieri).

Questi sono alcuni estratti dai diari di entrambe proprio di questa parte del viaggio.

🧵 🇮🇹/🇬🇧 #AnneLister non poteva presentare #AnnWalker alle sue amicizie altolocate, dove per "altolocate" intendiamo aristocratiche.

L'etichetta in questo senso era piuttosto rigida e, per quanto una persona potesse essere ricca come Ann, ad alcuni circoli non avrebbe mai avuto accesso: si trattava di due compartimenti stagni.

Anne L. non aveva un titolo nobiliare e non era nemmeno ricca come Ann W., ma era l’erede di una famiglia di proprietari terrieri, e questo (più del mero possesso) era ritenuto segno di un prestigio che arrivava da lontano nel tempo,

Happy #SwordLesbianSaturday ! Today for this @MuseumBuddy collaboration between @ShibdenHall @BankfieldMuseum and I exploring LGBTQI connections we combine Anne Lister's legacy with my special interest in swordswomen and arms & armour! To ask... #WasAnneListeraSwordLesbian?
Wait back up...sword lesbians? And the answer is: yes. I am an art historian, curator, artist and a fencer (albeit definitely still a beginner) interested in sharing histories and creating stories around women with swords as well as feminist/queer perspectives in arms & armour!
You may be thinking that's niche. Well yes and no. When I talk about sword lesbians I'm talking about a general framework of research exploring the historical and cultural legacies of women with swords challenging gender and sexual norms. And there is some STUFF to explore there!
Welcome to another exciting day of @MuseumBuddy collaboration between @ShibdenHall @BankfieldMuseum and I exploring LGBTQI connections in heritage! This afternoon we take a closer look at what our sartorial sapphic Anne Lister wore and how she challenged gender norms in doing so!
What do we know of what Anne Lister wore? Much of what we can draw from comes from this portrait of her by Joshua Horner, circa 1830. While it may not have appear very gender conforming, this would have been a real slap in the face of norms pertaining to women's fashion back then
By 1817, Anne Lister would have made the decision to only wear black - a decision she made before visiting a certain Ann Walker, her future wife! This colour choice would have been exceptional for a woman at the time, given its association with mourning..
The Prince de la Moscowa might've gotten a corridor in the Vignemale named after him, but Anne wasn't forgotten either.
There is a pass above the "Corredor de la Moskowa" that is named "Col Lady Lyster".

14/08/1838, Anne and Ann stop to buy and eat some grapes when Charles, their guide, tells them a curious tale:
"Charles told us how Cazos had deceived the Prince de la Moscowa – had told him that I had not gone to the top –"

"had told him that I had not gone to the top – was sick on the glacier, & could not get farther than the little pic – but the guides had gone to the top –"
Anne had indeed been sick, but she continued nonetheless and reached the top of Vignemale at 1 p.m. on the 7 of August

Understandably, this tale doesn't sit well with Anne:
"annoyed – would not pay Cazos till this was cleared – either I had gone to the top or not – if I had it should be avowed – if not, I would not pay –"

Well @moliveiradev says things get better soon so I'm looking forward to that. But things continue in a grim vein in early July 1837 & this one came out of the blue.

Anne wants to help and just take his rent money so he can leave (he's in a hurry), but she needs to consult with Ann.
3 July 1837 (in code so no punctuation):
"then went to Ann found her lying down all right at breakfast did not know anything was the matter ..."

On the 30th of April 1837, Anne and Ann have an argument.
Starts with Ann going to their room and Anne following her, only to find George, Oddy, and Cookson 'crying and all wrong' and Cookson 'impertinent the latter tho worst'.
Then, things escalate.

Ann is very upset and issues what is essentially a bit of an ultimatum:
"A-[Ann]s health could not stand it I must choose between her and Cookson whom A-[Ann] said I had said I would not turn away"
Anne is silent for about 1/2 hour while Ann makes her displeasure known.

Then, Anne tries to de-escalate the situation:
"said turn them all away and quietly talked to that
purpose said what I could unoffensively for Cookson"
