RE: Women who disguised themselves as men and went to war
This page reveals some stories. I laughed at this particular one.
Some women went out of the way to practice acting "masculine" in order to conceal their gender. Loreta Janeta Velazquez wore a false mustache and practiced a swagger. She also wore a chain-metal corset-like affair to disguise her form. In her memoirs she reports ruefully that her specially designed outfit kept getting "out of order" and she was frequently stopped and questioned. nothing worse that disobedient underwear. http://www.cevsite.com/civilwomen.htm ‘I’ve danced at Abraham Lincoln’s birthday bash...
