Lister Sister Conversations Ep. 019: What's On My Nerves This Week

Diana shares with Sue some of what is on her nerves this week: threats to the 14th Amendment and DOMA, suppression of everyday (DEI) language and programs, preserving women's perspectives, and more. "Perspective shapes narrative. Power shapes interpretation. Ultimately, who tells the story matters often as much as whose story is being told." From Cat Bohannon's 'Eve", to Mary Todd Lincoln , to 1600's or Juana Iñes de la Cruz, and SF's Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon, the perspective of women and their own history is vital. The Lister Sisterhood empowers us to keep connected, stay informed and persevere.

Lister Sister Conversations Ep. 017: ALBW26 Wrap Part 2

Cheryl and Elizabeth continue their wrap-up of ALBW26 (Anne Lister Birthday Week) with excitement about Jennifer Van Gessel's new film, 'Langton', that is casting for a young Anne Lister. O'Hooley and Tidow were back for a one-night-only at The Arches, an intimate venue. Elizabeth describes the privilege she feels about the extreme talent that moves emotions. The walking football tournament was quite the talk of the town. All the volunteers and organizers make the festival so meaningful help keep Anne Lister's spirit alive.

Lister Sister Conversations Ep. 016: ALBW26 Wrap, Part I

Sue admits that she was suffering FOMO during ALBW26 (Anne Lister Birthday Week), but is grateful to hear all about it from Cheryl and Elizabeth. A big highlight was one-on-one meetings with our champion, Helena Whitbread, who wrote the seminal books 'I Know My Own Heart: The Diaries of Anne Lister' and 'No Priest But Love: The Journals of Anne Lister.' Of course the jewel on the crown was Anne's birthday itself, with the flower lying & dancing at Piece Hall. Elizabeth enjoyed her 'galloping' while Cheryl spotlighted later at the Bash with Pippa. Before the Bash was the interview with Sally Wainwright, the acclaimed writer and director of 'Gentleman Jack', who discussed her hit 'Riot Women. Oh, and Pat Esgate gave an important update on the location of Anne Lister's grave!
