While these societies not necessarily rationalized gender relations in terms of dominance and servitude, women generally occupied lower and less prestigious positions in them. The first overreaching cause of the absence of great female artist throughout history was the subjugated position of women as a gender in the majority of societies.
The answer is threefold: women’s lower social station, economic status, and the lack of education limited their opportunities so that they were not able to develop their artistic talents to the same degree as the greatest of their male counterparts. This fact begs a legitimate question of why, during the entire history of art, no great female artists ever emerged.
