What role did women play in Elizabethan?

Women played a very minor role in Elizabethan theatres. They formed a part of the audience and also were among those offering services to the patrons (selling Oranges etc.). Theatre companies might employ women to repair and clean costumes. They did not act in plays, were not part of the theatre management, and did not write plays very often. (I cannot say that they never wrote plays because the Countess of Pembroke wrote a play on the subject of Antony and Cleopatra, but it was not performed because it is not practical.)
