I agree with what Andy said about the armor. She would also have to not mind being dirty and be able to deal with a bunch of guys who swear, drink and in general act like the barbarians we are supposed to be fighting. Simply put she'd have to be "one of the guys."<br>

I also think that she should at least try to look like a man, I.E. either cutting her hair short or hiding it, women in men's roles who flagrantly look like women is one of my pet peeves in American Civil War reenacting. This would be the one place where a woman who is "well indowed" is at a disadvantage.<br>
<br>
As for the legs a pair of trousers and legwraps would cover that right up. Or not shaving a month in advance of each event <p></p><i></i>
