Irishwoman who fought as a man in the WoNA

I thought that some here might find this intersting. Not sure about it being made into a musical, though.

I didn’t think it would have been possible to hide it for so long. The article makes mention of more than one woman who apparently did this.

And that is hilarious because I saw that episode simply due to the fact I was too lazy to get off the comfy couch, grab the remote, and change the channel. It was a lady during the American Revolutionary War posing as a dude.
