Abstract
If we consider the History of Art from the very beginning, we observe that women have been generally a lot more of subjects than actors. During a long time, they remained stuck in the role of the muse, or source of inspiration for the artist. Until the advent of the 19th century, Art was like a branch the society, following its rules and women, confined in their household activities, were kept away from real artistic activities, except for distraction. Some said it would corrupt their minds, while some others opined that they were mentally or physically too inferior to reach the superior abilities required to perform Art. This situation began to evolve after the Industrial Revolution in European societies, but painting or sculpture were still a private area for men, and when women works were recognized, these women were mostly forced to lead a marginalized life.
