Más información sobre el libro

The book explores the lives of women who defied societal norms by disguising themselves as men, particularly during times when they were barred from serving in wars. It highlights notable figures like jazz musician Billy Tipton and Dr. James Barry, whose true identities were revealed posthumously, showcasing the complexities of gender and acceptance. Through a blend of historical accounts, the narrative celebrates the resilience of women from various backgrounds—saints, queens, and commoners—who challenged expectations and continue to inspire the quest for empowerment.
