- Anne Lister used her love of books as a compatibility test. “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.
- Traditionally “feminine” clothing just wasn’t Lister’s style. Lister's era was one full of whalebone corsets and restrictive petticoats, yet her personal style emphasized function over form.
- She ran her family's estate for more than a decade. Growing up, Lister would frequently visit Shibden Hall, the brick-and-timber mansion that was the home of her aunt and uncle, who had no children of his own.
- As an anatomy student, Lister once dissected a human head. On one of her extended trips to Paris, Lister was often seen attending scientific lectures, where she deepened her knowledge of everything from zoology to mineralogy.
