Autobiography of the Chevalier d'Eon, the most famous transvestite in the history of France. But beyond the incredible story of his cross-dressing at the court of Elizabeth of Russia which turned into an international incident, the Chevalier d'Eon was a diplomat who frequented European courts during the reign of Louis XV.
