… In addition, recent research has pointed out that the popular revolts and riots that occurred in early modern and modern Western countries were often accompanied by disguise, and in many cases were led by men dressed as women. American historian Natalie Zemon Davis (1928- ), citing concrete examples from France, England, and other countries, first gives the practical convenience of evading responsibility as a reason for such cross-dressing (in society at that time, women were not recognized as responsible parties, and their actions were often overlooked as merely the actions of women), and at the same time, she suggests that it may have been an attempt to utilize the unique energy of the other gender, that of women (Society and Culture in Early Modern France, 1975). In this regard, in Japan as well, the unique clothing worn in uprisings, such as straw raincoats and hats (though not cross-dressing), and persimmon curtains (though not cross-dressing), has been frequently discussed in recent years, and in any case, it can be said to be an interesting issue. … *Some of the terminology references "Davis, NZ" are listed below.
