Next up is the ever-fashionable Dorothy Lawrence, the would-be war correspondent from the First World War. Her true wish was to report on the front lines of the war, but because she was a woman, every effort of hers was met with boorish, manly laughter. This dame pulled out all the stops in her efforts to disguise herself as a man: she bound her chest, cut her hair, and dyed her skin bronze with furniture polish. She made it to the front lines (on bicycle, no less) and survived for ten days until she was finally discovered to be a woman.
WURK IT DOROTHY.
That is seriously awesome.
