Category:Gender-role reversals or women in power

There have been many satirical caricatures down the centuries depicting women acting in what was considered to be an inappropriately "manly" way, or predicting the consequences that would result if women were to attain a position of authority, or showing how women have achieved unacknowleged power even within restrictive social norms. (These may not always be obvious from a 21st century point of view.)
