French writer Gabriel Letainturier-Fradin wrote perhaps the most detailed non-fictionalized biography of La Maupin – Mistress of the Sword (1670-1707), born Julie d'Aubigny. A 17th-century swordswoman and opera singer, Letainturier-Fradin described her life, her duels and her adventures. Her tumultuous career and flamboyant life were the subject of gossip and colorful stories in her own time.
