Just the Gist

The kick-arse 17th century French woman you need to know about - remembering Julie d’Aubigny


Listen Later

In Julie d’Aubigny's short life she enjoyed affairs with men and women, joined (and destroyed) a convent, performed in the Paris Opera, defeated men in duels and got away with it.

It's a Just The Gist classic from 2020 chock-full of gender dynamics, snuff boxes and periods.

We'll be back with new stories and special guest hosts next week.

We give you Just The Gist, but if you want more, there’s this:

A comprehensive written account of the life of La Maupin with good footnotes that help provide context https://www.eldacur.com/~brons/Maupin/LaMaupin.html 

An even more comprehensive article https://www.encyclopedia.com/women/encyclopedias-almanacs-transcripts-and-maps/maupin-daubigny-c-1670-1707 

For those who prefer listicles to big slabs of text, here's one https://www.factinate.com/people/facts-julie-daubigny/ 

An author called Kelly Gardiner wrote a novel inspired by La Maupin called "Goddess" - you can buy the paperback here https://www.harpercollins.com.au/9780732298883/goddess/ or track down the ebook version.
