Thanks for your kind comment! St Joan is my patron too. God bless.
]]>You’re totally right! A cross-dresser would have hardly convinced anybody on the battlefield. Soldiers need to see a worthy leader, and that was what Jeanne was embodying for them: an ideal leader beyond sex/gender.
It was also for her own protection, as it motivated soldiers to stay pure and consider her like one of their own.
Thanks Jeff, absolutely!
