It was illegal in the sense that if a woman was caught doing it she could be arrested and taken before the courts. One woman this actually happened to is Mary Frith, a woman in Shakespeare's day who dressed and acted like a man all the time. She was charged with having got up on the stage of the Fortune Theatre and sung a song (probably in Dekker and Middleton's play about her, The Roaring Girl). The penalty was not harsh: she was given a penance and had to promise not to do it again.
