Irene Clyde (b. Thomas Baty, 1869-1954) was an English lawyer, writer, and activist who spent much of her life in Japan. She co-founded the Aethnic Union, a society dedicated to challenging binary gender distinctions; and for 25 years she helped edit, write, and publish Urania, a privately circulated journal that covered such topics as same-sex relationships, androgyny, and sex changes, and that sharply criticized heterosexual marriage. Beatrice the Sixteenth (1909) is her only novel. Lucy Sante's books include Low Life, Kill All Your Darlings, The Other Paris, Maybe the People Would Be the Times, and I Heard Her Call My Name. She was recently appointed an officer of the Order of the Crown by the Belgian government.
ENDORSEMENTS “The recently rediscovered early 20th-century transfeminine author Irene Clyde’s Beatrice the Sixteenth is an interdimensional Amazonian romance and imperialist ethnographic fantasy rolled into one. Readers of this new edition are in for an unexpected and thought-provoking journey.” —Susan Stryker, author of Transgender History: A Resource for Today's Struggle—And Tomorrow’s “A real wonderland, where only the fair sex live and reign.” —The Theosophist (January–March 1910)
