Three Gender Stories from Nineteenth-Century France Rachel Mesch Before the term "transgender" existed, there were those who experienced their gender in complex ways. Before Trans examines the lives and writings of Jane Dieulafoy (1850–1916), Rachilde (1860–1953), and Marc de Montifaud (1845–1912), three French writers who expressed their gender in ways that did not conform to nineteenth-century notions of femininity.
