During the Renaissance, societal norms and educational barriers significantly limited women's opportunities in science and the arts. Women were often excluded from formal education and professional networks, which were predominantly male-dominated. Additionally, cultural expectations relegated women to domestic roles, reducing their visibility and access to the resources necessary for artistic and scientific pursuits. Consequently, the contributions of female scientists and artists were often overlooked or unrecognized in historical narratives.

In the 1920s, social change significantly influenced the arts, as the era's cultural shifts gave rise to new artistic movements and greater representation for women and minorities. The Jazz Age and the Harlem Renaissance showcased African American culture, with figures like Duke Ellington and Langston Hughes gaining prominence.

Elisabeth Louise Vigee-Le Brun was a prominent French painter known for her exquisite portraiture, particularly of women and members of the aristocracy. She gained significant acclaim for her ability to capture the elegance and personality of her subjects, including Queen Marie Antoinette, for whom she served as the official portraitist. Vigee-Le Brun's work is characterized by its vibrant colors, soft brushwork, and a focus on the sitter's individuality, making her one of the leading female artists of the 18th century.
