"Duty" is something people don't understand anymore. The story of Mulan was basically the same sort of thing- they felt a duty to God/family to take up arms and join the army, at time periods when women doing ANYTHING outside of homebuilding was unheard of. No shit they tried to make themselves look like men.
I shudder at what modern libs might be saying about d'Eon de Beaumont.
