He appeared to have a fairly high opinion of women, though that was likely a product of his time (Elizabeth I being the queen of England).
He gave them a variety of roles and actions. He did maintain some of the basic things that some would call stereotypical, but he didn't belittle them or make them shallow images.

We just had a question like this earlier in the week. Do a search on "Shakespeare Women" and you'll get a bunch of answers.
I think the most important single thing to consider is the plays where women disquise themselves as men and go out into the world--I wrote about that in an answer to the earlier question.

he most likely thought that they were all damsells in distress.
