How some Albanian women became men. "Pashe Keqi recalled the day nearly 60 years ago when she decided to become a man. She chopped off her long black curls, traded in her dress for her father’s baggy trousers, armed herself with a hunting rifle and vowed to forsake marriage, children and sex." By remaining a virgin, and adopting male traits and responsibilities, some Albanian women successfully became men--at least in the eyes of their male peers.
