Maria Engelbrecht Stokkenbech, also E.M. Stokkenbeck, (1759–after 1806) was a Danish tailor, writer and early feminist who succeeded in earning her own living as a married woman by disguising herself as a man. For about four years in the early 1780s, she travelled across Europe as far as Málaga working as a tailor. Only on her return to Copenhagen in 1784 was her true sex revealed.
