In the old times, the women is isolated from the society, almost every aspect of life. It is nearly the same about all religions and cultures. From Romans to 2000s. Although the men had been worked everywhere and did every job in history that now, modern people characterized with women, there is some arts, jobs or specialties that could not replaced with men. Singing opera is at this category, because the huge concert halls needs shrill voices and all the operas based on powerful voice in order to tell emotions effectively. Thats why the men become inadequate at the stage. On the other hand even in the 1900s , men can play as a women at the stage performing like women, by the help of dresses and make-up, scenarios. No complaints from the people in that time before, increase in modernization process.
