Other Female Cross-Dresser Home Pages

Mlle. Maupin Home Page. " Several times in the last year or two, I've read assertions that women in the past could not obtain training in arms or would never have dressed as men and such like. One of the many fascinating women who give the lie to such claims is the seventeenth century opera star, Mademoiselle Maupin." -- Jim Burrows

Deborah Sampson. A fascinating page dedicated to the life of this well-known late 18^th century female soldier.

Notable Women Ancestors. Keep an eye on this page for links to the extraordinary lives of other women who disguised themselves as men.

Women Warriors. A relatively new site that lists many women who have fought or served in the military through history. While it is still early days, a number of the women have been given detailed biographies and are illustrated.

Other Sources for the 18th Century

Eighteenth-Century Resources. "These pages cover all the Internet resources I've been able to discover that focus on the (very long) eighteenth century -- Milton and Keats are my usual endpoints. The collection includes information on literature, history, art, music, religion, economics, philosophy, and so on, from around the world in the eighteenth century, as well as the home pages of societies and people who work on eighteenth-century topics." -- Jack Lynch

Life at Sea in the Age of Sail

The Maritime History Virtual Archives is a wonderfully extensive and detailed site that provides much information about life at sea during Hannah Snell's time.
