Murderhobos: Masculinity Throughout History

Special Episode: Lia De Beaumont, 1728 - 1810


Listen Later

Today on Murderhobos, our first guest episode! *Gasps, oohs and ahs*

We're joined by fantasy author, friend of the show, and noted trans historian Alina Boyden to discuss transness in history. We talk about Lia De Beaumont, the Chevalière d'Éon, one of the most famous trans women in history, and a kickass swordswoman. We also talk about the way academic historians often fail to recognize trans experiences (and trans women in particular), and why that matters.
