Women were never allowed to perform in Shakespeare's plays because at that time, women were underestimated. People always thought that men should do things because women were made to carry babies and be the house wife, this changed, however, over time.

No. Women were not allowed to perform or act.
During Shakespeare's time, women were not allowed to act on the stage due to societal norms that dictated women should not perform publicly. In addition, there were also laws and religious restrictions in place prohibiting women from participating in theater, so men had to portray female roles in all productions.
