Editor's Note:
De titel van dit boek verwijst naar het bekende liedje, waarin een meisje aanmonstert als matroos en eindigt als liefje van de kapitein. Een dergelijk thema moet de zeelieden tijdens hun lange perioden van gedwongen vrijgezellendom bijzonder hebben aangesproken. Er waren in de 17e en 18e eeuw dan ook veel meer van dergelijke liederen in omloop. Opmerkelijk is echter, dat we bij tijdgenoten ook veel verhalen tegenkomen over meisjes die genoeg hadden van de beperkingen van hun vrouwenbestaan, en werkelijk de vlechten afknipten, mannenkleren aantrokken en dienst namen als matroos of soldaat. Maar noch in Nederland, noch in het buitenland is hier ooit systematisch onderzoek naar verricht.Twee jonge historici hebben een uitgebreid onderzoek naar dit verschijnsel verricht in de Nederlandse archieven uit de 17e en 18e eeuw. Dit leverde bijna honderd authentieke gevallen op van vrouwen die als man verkleed een mannenbestaan leidden en dat is vermoedelijk nog maar het topje van de ijsberg.Wie waren deze vrouwen, door welke motieven werden ze gedreven, hoe wisten ze zich te handhaven in de ruige mannenwereld van leger en vloot, hoe oordeelden hun tijdgenoten over hen?Deze studie werpt een nieuw licht op de geschiedenis van de vrouw, want juist door de rolwisseling van vrouw tot man komen de sekse-verhoudingen scherp aan het licht. Tevens is dit een belangrijke bijdrage tot het nog duistere terrein van de geschiedenis van de seksualiteit, want onder de mannenkleren scholen meermalen lesbische en transseksuele vrouwen, die op deze wijze gemakkelijker naar hun aard konden leven.
