Dr Jill Liddington is an Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Leeds. Her expertise lies with women's history, especially gender and class in nineteenth and twentieth century Britain. 


Jill is the celebrated author of Female Fortune: the Anne Lister diaries 1833-36. This was the book that inspired TV scriptwriter Sally Wainwright to write Gentleman Jack (BBC1/HBO). It was also the book Sally chose to take with her if she was ever trapped on a desert island (BBC R4).


This was a fund-raising talk in conjunction with Jill, a member of Halifax Civic Trust, and afterwards there was a book signing of Female Fortune.


The event was held at The Albany Club at Hope Hall Halifax which has connections to Anne Lister by being home to Christopher Rawson her coal rival.


We are very grateful to Jill for her time, and we hope that you enjoys Jill's talk as much as the audience and I did.
