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!
