Answer:

This very sentiment is the primary motivation for the cross dressing of Portia and Nerissa in The Merchant of Venice. Portia understands that in order to help her husband's friend Antonio, she must dress like a man in order to escape the strict limitations placed on women at the time. Portia and nerissa dressed up as men because the wanted to help antonio as shylock was about to kill him. According to the bond if Antonio was not able to pay the three thousands ducats back he has to give a pound of flesh to Shylock. She joins Portia in dressing up as men to save Antonio's life, playing the part of a law clerk.
