Louise Antonini[edit]

  • ... that Louise Antonini disguised herself as a man to serve in the French Navy and Napoleon's army for 25 years, reaching the rank of sergeant? Source: In french but is translationable via google[1]

  • Interesting subject. New enough, long enough, adequately referenced (although more English-language refs are available on Google). No close paraphrasing seen. I added a "citation needed" tag to one paragraph per Rule D2. It would be nice to mention and cite in the body of the article the fact that she revealed herself after 25 years. QPQ done.
