Hic Mulier

''Hic Mulier'' title page illustration ''Hic Mulier: or, The Man-Woman'' is a pamphlet published in 1620 in England that condemned cross-dressing. The pamphlet expresses concern about women wearing men's apparel. It makes a socially conservative argument that transvestitism was an affront to nature, The Bible, the great chain of being, and society. The Latin title uses the word ''hic'', the masculine form of the demonstrative pronoun jokingly applied to a feminine noun, to mean "this [manlike] woman". Provided by Wikipedia
