Males played female parts in Shakespeare. This was not because women were not allowed to do anything in that time but cook clean and have children, since they had a much more varied scope than that. It was because it was considered to be indecent for women to be seen performing on stage. It was as indecent to them as showing up for a funeral in the nude would be to us.
