Summary
Chevalière d'Éon was a French spy, championship fencer, soldier, and absolute icon. No wonder the Ton of Regency England became obsessed when she moved there. In this episode, originally from 2022, author Maya Deane joins us to explain d'Éon's audacious story and the importance of her life to queer and trans history.
