Who played all the women roles in shakespeare play?

Women's roles in Shakespeare's plays were usually performed by boy actors. Shakespeare jokes about this several times - especially in Hamlet and in As You Like It. It was illegal during the Sixteenth Century for women to perform in plays, and most Elizabethan playwrights wrote only minor roles for female characters as a result. Shakespeare seems to have been one of the first playwrights to give women characters important roles in his plays - though after Shakespeare's time quite a few playwrights began to write important roles for women.
