Rhianna Needs: 本集探讨了d'Éon传奇的一生,从在俄罗斯宫廷的秘密行动,到策划路易十五入侵英国的计划,再到其在法国和英国宫廷获得以女性身份生活的权利。d'Éon作为间谍的成功有目共睹,其在模糊性别界限方面的开创性尝试也值得关注。Gary Kates: d'Éon的故事在历史上是独一无二的,因为其以另一种性别身份生活,并成为公众人物。关于d'Éon性别认同的讨论持续至今,但其在18世纪欧洲公众面前以女性身份生活的事实是不可否认的。Bram Stoker: Stoker在其著作中描述了d'Éon在俄罗斯和英国的间谍活动,以及其性别身份引发的争议和猜测。d'Éon的经历在当时引起了巨大的轰动,其性别身份成为人们关注的焦点。 Gary Kates: d'Éon年轻时是一位受过良好教育、有才华的贵族,有着光明的政治和军事生涯。其卓越的才华和写作能力使其成为一位杰出的外交官和间谍。d'Éon参与了“国王的秘密”行动,为法国的对外利益做出了巨大贡献。d'Éon在俄罗斯的任务取得了成功,其在七年战争中的英勇表现也值得称赞。d'Éon后来的生活充满了戏剧性,其与新任大使的冲突和葡萄酒进口事件都对其声誉造成了损害。d'Éon最终选择以女性身份生活,这在其人生中具有重要的意义,是其对政治生活本质的反思和道德上的自我救赎。 Bram Stoker: Stoker的著作中记录了d'Éon在俄罗斯宫廷的活动,以及其如何赢得女皇的信任。Stoker也描述了d'Éon在七年战争中的英勇表现,以及其在英国的间谍活动。Stoker还记录了d'Éon的性别身份引发的争议,以及人们对其性别的猜测和赌博。Stoker的描述为我们了解d'Éon传奇的一生提供了重要的参考。
