There was once a chaotic neutral woman who could (and would) beat up men and flirt with women... and her name was Julie d'Aubigny.

Vi er i 1600-tallets Frankrig. Julie d'Aubigny er én af tidens mest skandaløse kvinder: åbenlyst biseksuel skørtejæger, som går klædt i mandetøj og ikke går af vejen for et godt slagsmål -- eller endnu bedre: en fægtekamp. Julie d'Aubigny nåede rigtig meget i løbet af sit korte liv fra episke pub crawls, en dødsdom til en succesfuld karriere som operasanger for at ende i kloster.  Men hvem var hun og hvordan kunne hun få lov til at leve et så vildt liv?

Anna plays it very uncool when talking about her favourite comedy writer Mindy Kaling, head writer for The Office (US) who also plays the character of Kelly Kapoor. Inspiring stuff for anyone needing some confidence in getting shit done, or just looking to find your new favourite TV programme (Spoiler alert: It's the Mindy Project). Julia lays out the true-ish tale of Julie D'Aubigny, a 17th century French swordswoman-opera singer-nun-actor whose swashbuckling escapades made her a favourite of the French court.

And that's before we even get to the arson, beating up lecherous men and progressing French Opera for women...

Julie d'Aubigny (1670/1673–1707), better known as Mademoiselle Maupin or La Maupin, was a 17th-century swordswoman and opera singer. Her tumultuous career and flamboyant life were the subject of gossip and colourful stories in her own time, and inspired numerous portrayals afterwards. Théophile Gautier loosely based the title character, Madeleine de Maupin, of his novel Mademoiselle de Maupin (1835) on her.

Wir springen in dieser Folge ins Frankreich des 17. Jahrhunderts. Im Jahr 1673 wird hier Julie d'Aubigny geboren und schnell stellt sich raus, dass sie einen Lebensweg beschreiten wird, der für eine junge Frau dieser Zeit äußerst ungewöhnlich ist. Fechtend und singend lebt und liebt sie sich u.a. durch Paris, Marseille und Brüssel, wohl ein Grund warum sie auch heute noch als eine der bedeutendsten Opernsängerinnen Frankreichs gilt.
