She wore men’s clothing because she was fighting battles and hanging out with very rough men.

She agreed to only wear women’s cloths. The guards took her female attire and left only men’s cloths. She put on the men’s cloths for modesty and was discovered violating her agreement and that was part of the crime that sentenced her to burn at the stake.
