Thesis (Ph.D.)--Boston University, 2004.

Creative women in Early Modern Europe, like their male contemporaries, showed a strong desire to fashion their own identities through art. Their attempts to do so were complicated by social constraints, which limited women's options and reserved the arts as a masculine pursuit. Despite the daunting reality of these obstacles, a few women worked around and within them to create innovative works of poetry and painting, including numerous self-portraits. This dissertation examines the ways that four Early Modern women depicted themselves in their work: Italian poet Vittoria Colonna, Italian artist Sofonisba Anguissola, English writer Isabella Whitney, and Netherlandish painter Clara Peeters. Their self-portraits offered an alternative to prevailing ideas about women, as well as to established approaches to portraying women in the arts. Moreover, they expanded the ability of poetry and painting to explore all human identity, male and female. My central thesis is that these women neither gave up their creative pursuits because of the limitations they faced, nor sacrificed their gender for their art by distancing themselves from other women in their works. Although they were exceptional in their success as artists and writers, they did not use their unique status to set themselves apart from others of their gender. Instead, they used their works to demonstrate new ways of constructing female identity, neither passively accepting nor turning away from society's expectations. They created images of themselves that linked femininity with creativity and wisdom, as well as with emotion and beauty. Their contributions to their arts created more opportunities for other women, who found inspiration in their work and their success. At the same time, they offered new models for other artists, male and female alike, for portraying the complexity of human identity. Their self-portraits demonstrate how these Early Modern women were able to present themselves as both progressive and conservative at the same time, thus opening new paths for women while preserving their traditional roles.
