Meet Anne Lister, the 18th-century landowner, industrialist, explorer, lesbian and feminist icon. This is her story.... Anne was different from society’s expectations of a woman at the time: she not only did not wish to marry, but she also did not want to conform. Anne was interested only in women and had ‘marriage’ ceremonies with Mariana Lawton and later Ann Walker. She spent a great deal of time studying, managed her own estates, sought business opportunities, travelled widely and climbed mountains.

Conventional wisdom holds that same-sex marriage is a purely modern innovation, a concept born of an overtly modern lifestyle that was unheard of in 19th-century America.

A brilliant and strong-willed woman with a clear attraction for her own sex, Charity found herself banished from her family home at age 20.

The last few decades have seen a welcome increase in tolerance, close to the liberal ideal of ‘do what you want as long as you do no harm’. Then came Gender Ideology. It states that how one feels is critical, not the hand nature has dealt. We have each been given an impeccable sense of self, but possibly the wrong body parts.

Michigan. To tens of thousands of womyn from around the globe, the word meant not a state in the upper Midwest of the U.S., but a state of mind, a state of freedom. A culture, a community, a revolution. The Land. From 1976 to 2015, the Michigan Womyn's Music Festival was home ground for the lesbian feminist movement.
