Síntesis:
"A collection of humorous essays with an accurate, followable narrative thread relating the stories of notable women throughout history who dressed as men to get what they wanted or needed, complete with a four-color portrait of each woman."-- Provided by publisher.
Dawson profiles notable women throughout history who dressed as men to get what they wanted or needed. They didn't take "no" for an answer simply because of their gender. These women, from different ethnicities and cultural backgrounds, defied the patriarchy and refused to allow the powers that be define their lives, deny their achievements, or break their spirits. - adapted from back cover
