Keywords:

The Renaissance brought a subtle shift in the portrayal of women, with writers like William Shakespeare creating more complex female characters who displayed intelligence, wit, and agency. Shakespeare's heroines, such as Portia in "The Merchant of Venice," Viola in "Twelfth Night," and Rosalind in "As You Like It," often cross-dress and navigate male-dominated spaces, revealing the fluidity of gender roles and the potential for female autonomy, albeit within a comedic or romantic framework.
