An over-enthusiastic spring-clean has led me to delete the reference to a female pilgrim who was disguised as a boy, entered a Cistercian monastery and was not discovered to be a woman until her death. Could some kind list member reinstate it for me - and does anyone know of other examples of cross-dressing saints? (Men dressing as women would be particularly interesting!) This is partly a query from m'learned colleague Miranda Aldhouse-Green who is doing something on cross-dressing deities and was intrigued to hear of more modern Christian parallels.
