Female reenactors as soldiers?

[jvrjenivs]

Thats a difficult question and I personally think it also highly demand on the purpose your group has. I don't have any problem with it, as long as it doesn't influence the total picture to much. So no loose 1m long blond hair, for instance. And when doing shows, using the right helmet and right type of armor, and nobody will notice. One of my friends use squamata and face mask helmet and you would never spot she is female, when totally in armor.

And of course you could also suggest better roles. I mean, there are way too few camp followers & prostitutes around in the re-enactment scene. When she want to fight, she can become gladiatrix.

Or become Boudica
