Shakespeare's heroines have masculine traits because of dressing, intelligence and abilities.
Examples.
Portia in Merchant of Venice - her appearance and knowledge in trail scene.
Julia 'The Two Gentlemen of Verona' adopts the disguise of a “well-reputed page” II;vii:43 called Sebastian.
Viola in 'Twelfth Night' also disguises and enjoys masculine attire
Rosalind in 'As You Like It'

Even then these are mine own analysis, might be false because heroines are also rich in feminism as well like love, chastity etc
