Women have made art and supported artists throughout history, though their activity has often been written out of the books. This course surveys the history of women as producers and participants in the visual arts and material culture. We will study artists (makers) and patrons (those who commission art and architecture, the movers and shakers) to understand the variety of roles women have taken from the Medieval period through today. Our emphasis will be on Europe and North America. Three 'throughlines' will link the past and the present as we consider women’s interventions in culture and how we can understand them from a feminist perspective in the 21st century
