Women as well as men enjoy Shakespeare's plays for all of the many reasons they are extremely good. Shakespeare's female characters are deep well-drawn characters and avoid the silly stereotypes of the time (women are feeble, women are stupid, women are sex-mad), but in fact most of the other playwrights of the time preferred to write women who avoided the stereotypes as well.

Women. As in John Knox's book "The First Blast of the Trumpet against the Monstruous Regiment of Women", published six years before Shakespeare's birth.

William Shakespeare is credited with popularizing the English sonnet form through his collection of 154 sonnets. His mastery of the form and exploration of complex themes such as love, time, and mortality have solidified the sonnet's significance in literature.
What did Shakespeare use to write his plays down?
Not Old English, which is a totally different language that neither you nor Shakespeare could comprehend. Nor even Middle English, which Chaucer wrote in, and which you and Shakespeare could understand if it were written, but neither could understand when spoken. No, Shakespeare wrote exclusively in Modern English. You could understand Shakespeare if he spoke to you, although you might think his accent made him sound a bit like a pirate. (The particular dialect of English he used is called Early Modern English)

Does Shakespeare portray life for Elizabethan women accurately in romeo and Juliet?
No. Elizabethan women did not get married at the age of thirteen (it is puzzling why Shakespeare made Juliet 13 when she was 16 in his source), but rather around the age of 25. They did not live cloistered lives in their homes, only getting out to go to church. English women, both married and unmarried, lived pretty free-and-easy lives, much more so than their continental sisters. The cloistered life portrayed in the play would have been more typical of that of a European woman.
