Herculine Barbin / Being the Recently Discovered Memoirs of a Nineteenth-Century French Hermaphrodite  -  Barbin, Herculine / Michel Foucault (introduction)

KORTE INHOUD

Herculine Barbin was an intersex woman born in 1838. Unlawfully in love with another woman,[3] she was forced to live as a man because of a judge's orders, after a doctor found her to be intersex, and her homosexual behaviors were brought forth.[4] Upon this legal change of her sex, Barbin's name was also changed, and she was referred as either Camille or Abel.[5] In 1868, Barbin committed suicide due to her poverty, gender and sexuality troubles and the false persona she was forced to maintain.[4]
