Keywords: androgyny, redemption, female transvestism, masculinization, Late Antiquity, Christianity, Middle Ages

The aim of my paper will therefore be to investigate the relationship between androgyny and atonement, starting with cross-dressing saints, passing through depictions of a feminine Christ, and ending with Virgofortis, an iconographic and symbolic summa of both the masculinization of the feminine and the feminization of the masculine, and icon of a complete and perfect asexuality.
