The act of women wearing men's clothing during the Qajar era was not considered highly respectable or honorable. However, there are photographs from that period that depict some women and young girls dressed in men's clothing. These individuals were usually members of music groups or theatrical troupes. These professions themselves were not considered particularly respectable or honorable by the majority of people at that time. Perhaps that is why these individuals did not place much importance on conforming to societal norms.
