Tango in its beginnings was created as an amusement, jokingly immitating 
moves   negroes executed in their candombes.

It was a dance of men.  The lyrics represented the masculine world.   It was 
not proper for a woman to either dance or sing tangos.

So when women were finally included in tango shows, at the beginnings they 
were dressed as men.

Above You may see Videos and pictures of Azucena Maizani singing and acting 
in theater dressed as a man.

Best regards, Sergio
