As women were not allowed to act in the theatre, the men played the roles of women too. They did this by only using men who's voice hadn't broken yet. To show the audience that the actor was playing a woman, a prosternaidwas worn around the chest, and a progastrida was worn around the stomach.

Joseph Addison Summary of his essay Ladies head dress?
The most gentle irony he uses for women is “architect” .By this he exposes women as great builder but ironically he ridicules the way they make up their head. But he wants women to be not more extravagant in beauty and he says women are very beautiful in the natural sense but not in the other way, ”raising any whimsical super structure upon her plants”. This comparison of Head dresses with buildings that are resent in different shapes is obviously ironical. Further more Addison ridicules women and his comments on them are ironical and satirical. When he calls the ladies as architect, he also adds that that there are so many types and shapes that they look like ‘a steeple’ Addison is successful in making trivial things appear big .He humorously describes that the ladies without the head dresses look like a ‘Pigmy’ and with it they look like a ‘Colossus’ The fashion of wearing Head dresses was so much denounced that even a famous monk Thomas Conecte attacked with great zeal and resolution that the women threw down their head dresses in the middle of the sermon and made a bonafire of them . Addison attacks the whole class of fashion loving, waying and floatious women who were in the upper cadre of the society. Thus Addison portrays fair sex-women through gentle irony in Ladies Head dresses
