"This biographical study of three late nineteenth-century French writers looks at
how transgender identities were expressed and understood before the modern category
of transgender existed. At once construed as oddities and celebrated for their accomplishments,
archaeologist and explorer Jane Dieulafoy (1851-1916), art critic Marc de Montifaud
(1845-1912), and novelist and playwright Rachilde (1860-1953) defied the available
terms for women who challenged gender norms. The book uses the contemporary lens of
transgender to examine the fascinating and very different life stories of these overlooked
historical figures, while introducing us to their writing and photography"
