Odin dressed as a female healer in order to seduce Rindr and Lord Byron’s Don Juan masqueraded as female to enter a harem. Men sometimes dress as women with seduction on their minds. In the Mahabharata, Arjuna in exile disguises himself as a women and becomes a dance teacher. Odysseus’s mother dressed him as a girl to prevent his having to fight for the Greek army, though he was eventually uncovered by Achilles. Men cross-dressed as women are less frequent but still prominent in history. In As You Like It, he goes so far as to have his woman pretending to be a man dress up as a woman to help a friend. In literature, no one loved cross-dressing more than Shakespeare, and fully one fifth of his plays like Cymbeline, The Merchant of Venice, and Twelfth Night include female characters dressed as men. The American west tradition included many so-called men who were discovered to be female on their deathbeds.
We all know stories of women who passed as boys in order to fight in wars. Most frequently, women dress as men in order to participate in the greater freedom that men have enjoyed throughout the years. Cross-dressing has been an important part of history, both in literature and life. In this theme, the book falls into a long-standing tradition. And, of course, all kinds of mistaken identity and hijinks ensue. One of my heroes dresses as a woman in order to hide from his father who wants to marry him off. A dominant theme in the book is cross-dressing. This is a champagne cocktail of a book, full of fun and tropes. It’s a sweet beautiful read.Hi and welcome!
