Katharina Marschall (1740–ca.1820) achieved fame in the Habsburg Monarchy during the second half of the eighteenth century as a "latter day amazon". She became a soldier and concealed her gender for six years till her mother (who had believed she was making a life for herself as a domestic servant in Prague) discovered the truth and betrayed her secret.
