One of the defining features of Sephardic literature is its unifying charac-ter, as it not only develops its own genres and themes but also echoes all the elements that surround it. However, there is one concept, that of the woman disguised as a man, which has remained isolated in its margins and of which only a few examples can be found due, above all, to its prohibition already present in the biblical text. The aim of these pages is to offer an overview of the heritage and adopted genres of this literature in which models of this concept can be observed, together with an approach to its study.
