http://www.collegehumor.com/post/7053288/the-tale-of-julie-daubigny-the-swashbuckling-bisexual-genderqueer-opera-singer-your-history-teacher-never-taught-you-aboutPut very, very short:
- Her father taught her to fence and raised her like a boy.
- She had an affair with a fencing-master and ran away with him after he had killed somebody in an illegal duel.
- She had an affair with a girl and broke her out of a nun-convent by stealing a corpse, setting a fire and faking her death.
- Was challenged to a duel by a guy who mistook her for a man. She won and wounded him. He apologized. They became lovers.
- Opera-star.
- Kissed a girl in public. Was challenged by 3 guys to a duel over this. Dueled them SIMULTANEOUSLY and WON.
And that's not the end of the story...

pre modern science crap, so more history + biographies that were deleted by science stuff. i started w/ a 1903 F. so good, i searched for a complete set. found a 1891 set. when anti-biotics were not a thing yet. diabetes deadly. typewriters new.
