In 1868 in Paris, a man took his own life, leaving behind a set of memoirs. Designated female at birth, Herculine Adélaïde Barbin changed sex and became Abel. Her passionate pen recounts the torments and emotions of a young girl, and ends with the bitter despair of  a man. In 1978, Michel Foucault published these remarkable writings, along with a collection of medical reports, legal documents and newspaper articles from the time.
