alas, they weren't ,yet

Elizabeth, of course was. Strong, poinionate, vibrant, sexual.
So if it were Oxford who was the historical Shakespeare (sorry
Stratforidans)the example of Elizabeth as the pattern for
many of the women in the plays was right there in court in front of
Oxford, one of here favorite courtiers, and at times, one of
her most troublesome. this seems to make far more complelling
and realistic sense as to where Shakespeare's ideas about
women were formed.
