Maria van Antwerpen (1719 – 1781) was a Dutch soldier and seamstress who disguised herself as a man to enlist in the Dutch States Army. She is considered by the Dutch historians Rudolf Dekker and L.J.M. van de Pol as a transsexual woman.[1] Maria married twice to women. Two biographies were published about Maria in her own lifetime, one by Franciscus Lievens Kersteman in 1751.
