Julie D'Aubigny
Episode 35
Monday, 1 September, 2025
In this episode of Heroine City, host Lynsey Shaw is joined by Ace Armande to uncover the extraordinary life of Julie d’Aubigny, better known as Mademoiselle Maupin. A dazzling opera singer and fearless duellist, Julie defied every rule of her time, living openly as a bisexual woman, scandalising Paris with her romances, and wielding a sword as skilfully as she held an audience in song. Together, they explore how myth and history collide, and why Julie's legend still captivates today. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
