Book Description
With an eye for the sensual bloom of young schoolgirls, and the torrid style of
the romantic novels of her day, Herculine Barbin tells the story of her life as
a hermaphrodite. Herculine was designated female at birth. A pious girl in a
Catholic orphanage, a bewildered adolescent enchanted by the ripening bodies of
her classmates, a passionate lover of another schoolmistress, she is suddenly
reclassified as a man. Alone and desolate, he commits suicide at the age of
thirty in a miserable attic in Paris.
Here, in an erotic diary, is one lost voice from our sexual past. Provocative,
articulate, eerily prescient as she imagines
