Women have been involved in making art in most times and places, despite difficulties in training and trading their work, and gaining recognition. In the West the Middle Ages were arguably the best period for women artists; the introduction of drawing from life models made it far harder, for reasons of decorum, for women to obtain the specialised training now required for a professional artist. The replacement of illuminated manuscripts, in their final period apparently largely painted by women, with printing and printmaking also represented a setback for women.

In the last few decades, historians have endeavored to rediscover the artistic accomplishments of women and to incorporate them into the narrative of art history that has neglected them.
