Author: Irene Clyde

Irene Clyde (1869–1954) was an English feminist, pacifist, and activist lawyer and writer, author of Beatrice the Sixteenth (1909). Born Thomas Baty, she would most likely today be considered either non-binary or transgender. She co-edited Urania, a privately circulated feminist gender studies journal, alongside Eva Gore-Booth, Esther Roper, Dorothy Cornish, and Jessey Wade. In 1934, she published Eve's Sour Apples, a series of essays in which she attacked sex-based distinctions and marriage. From 1916 on, she lived and worked in Japan.
