In Shakespeare's time, all female roles were played by young boys or men because women were not allowed to perform on stage. This was a common practice due to societal norms and restrictions at the time.
The female roles in Shakespeare's day were performed by Boy Players: young actors who had not yet reached puberty and therefore did not have masculine voices. Some of the Boy Players were Apprentice Actors, the modern equivalent would be Interns.

I don't know what Elizabeth you are speaking of, but I presume it was because she was a female Shakespearean actress who was acting after the year 1660 sometime. Sometimes actresses play the male roles in Shakespeare as well.
