# Maria Engelbrecht Stokkenbech

> Maria Engelbrecht Stokkenbech, also E.M. Stokkenbeck, was a Danish tailor, writer and early feminist who succeeded in earning her own living as a married woman by disguising herself as a man. For about four years in the early 1780s, she traveled across Europe as far as Málaga working as a tailor. Only on her return to Copenhagen in 1784 was her true gender revealed. She managed however to persuade the king to allow her to continue her trade and was authorized to practice as a tailor and hire an apprentice.
