Huckleberry Finn dressing as a girl is a famously comic scene in Mark Twain's novel but hardly out of character - for the author, that is. Twain ""troubled gender"" in much of his otherwise traditional fiction, depicting children whose sexual identities are switched at birth, tomboys, same-sex married couples, and even a male French painter who impersonates his own sister and becomes engaged to another man.
