The Chevalier/Chevalière d’Eon lived as a man until age forty-seven and thereafter as a woman until death at age eighty-two in 1810.

This article compares the chevalière’s self-construction with the picture left by her contemporaries and later, by scholars. Viewed in context of current transgender self-writing, the Epistle offers insights into the nature of truth in autobiography. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Gender & History is the property of Wiley-Blackwell and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
