Yes, I would say [In reply to] Can't Post
we are fairly close. Your observations on SCA events are particulary interesting. It is an artificial experiment really, but such may reveal some valid insights. I am reminded of Sun Tzu's arming of the concubines with spears and Delbruck's giving his university students 20 foot pikes to see just what formations were feasible & which were not. A stray thought was the occasional report of women, entering the army disguised as men. I read a biographical book about a Russian woman, who served during the Napoleonic Wars, in a Russian Cavalry Regiment. She actually served for quite some time, before being discovered after being seriously wounded. The book is about 12 years old & called 'The Cavalry Maid'

Interesting topic. You should start another thread sometime just on this.
