Miscellaneous
In this episode Mildred tries to untangle the confusing tale of the Chevalier/Chevaliere d'Eon, an 18th century french spy and diplomat who presented masculine for the first 49 years of life, and female for the last 33. Speculation from scholars of their change in gender range from a hoax, to punishment by the king, to being a gender theorist ahead of their time. We also forget to introduce ourselves and the show- so if this is your first time, welcome to History Lessons for Misanthropes, we're Dr. Mildred Strange and Lou. music by V►LH►LL vlhll.bandcamp.com
