It isn't clear when women began being allowed to perform in other cultures. It is in dispute whether they were allowed to act in Greek Theater. But, in India they were allowed to perform starting early in the post Christ era (CE). However, women were not allowed on the British stage until the mid 1600s. This was a result of King Charles II's experiences while in exile in other European countries. So, the presumption is women were acting earlier in these other countries, perhaps France.
