What acting roles did women play on stage during shakespeare 's time?
Most of Shakespeare's plays contain strong female characters (Julius Caesar is an exception), and in many plays the female lead is the most important character in the story. As You Like It and Cymbeline are important examples. Thus Shakespeare's plays have a lot to say about women, their relationship with men, and how they are misunderstood by men. Almost all of Shakespeare's women are virtuous, and are not infrequently wrongly accused by the men in their lives, sometimes with disastrous consequences. However, not all of Shakespeare's women are victims. A number of them control the men in their lives: Cleopatra controls Antony, Volumnia controls Coriolanus, Paulina controls Leontes. It is fair to say that the relationships between men and women in Shakespeare's plays are as diverse as they are in real life, and the women cover all possible extremes.
On stage in Shakespeare's day, these women were not represented by actresses, but by boy actors. Although the acting world was primarily a man's world, women were employed, primarily as costumers.

Who was the first woman to fly her plane solo across the US?
Therese Peltier flew across Atlantic in July 1906 but she was a passenger. Baronees Elisa Reymond was first licensed pilot in 1910. Aug 1911, the first female American pilot Bessie Coleman achieved first license in USA. Anyway for info- the first woman to fly in Cosmon was Valentina Tereshkova of Soviet Union. Amelia Erhari tried to fly around the globe but was lost in July 2, 1937. She was the first woman to fly solo in 1928. Later in 1932 she was the second woman to fly solo across Atlantic and she was the first to fly from Hawai to Calfornia in 1935. What a great acheivement. Three Cheers for Amelia.

Why was Clara Barton know as the angel of the battlefield during the US Civil war?
Clara Barton is called the angel of the battlefield for many different reasons. She helped soldiers at the front line of battle. She also wrote letters to the family and friends of injured or sick soldiers informing them on their loved one's condition. Clara was also the first one to go to the front lines because she was brave and was not afraid to help others, even if it meant putting her own life on the line. In this way she was like an angel to the soldiers, on the battlefield and off.

What did prime minister Robert bennet do to help during the great depression in Canada?
Bennett was elected during the worst time, and that was the Depression. He tried to fight the depression by trading more with the British Empire and imposing tariffs for imports from outside the Empire promising that this would blast Canadian exports into world markets, but it didn't go so well. Car owners who could no longer afford gasoline reverted to having their vehicles pulled by horses and named them Bennett buggies after Bennett.
