No, women were not allowed onstage in England until the Restoration in 1660, eighteen years after the Puritans closed the theaters in 1642 and forty-four years after Shakespeare died in 1616. On the continent, in France and Italy, actresses were common in Shakespeare's day, but when they came on tour to England, the English people were outraged.
