…e has been dramatized for the show Gentleman Jack where she is played to perfection by Suranne Jones. Lister’s style is very severe. She wears her hair curled up in small buns and often wears a top hat. A white shirt with a strong ruffle wears well under a short, fitted jacket and fitted skirt.

I chose Nadja because she is truly a fun, female presenting icon who puts up with no bullshit, is very smart and witty, and is part of an amazing series that’s quickly become one of my all time faves.
