Kvinnor I Manskläder - En Avvikande Tradition - Europa 1500-1800
Vad fick kvinnor i det förindustriella Europa att klä ut sig till Män? Att män med talang och anlag för detta visar sig i kvinnokläder är en välkänd, ofta förhånad och för i tiden till och med strängt bestraffad företeelse. Omvänt är det inte ofta som något ljus fallit över kvinnan i manskläder. På detta sätt har en exotisk men ingalunda alltför sällsynt form av kvinnlig livsstil, en avsiktligt omvänd könsidentitet, länge förblivit i skuggan. De nederländska historikerna Rudolf Dekker och Lotte van de Pol beskriver i detta pionjärarbete de personliga levnadsförhållandena, motiven för och de sexuella aspekterna hos ett kvinnoliv i en mansroll: ett liv fört av kvinnor som gick in i armén eller flottan, valde typiska mansyrken eller rent av gifte sig med en kvinna. Till grund för författarnas efterforskning ligger etthundratjugo fall av kvinnor förklädda till män från 1500- till 1800-talet.
