Gender portrayal in art has seen major shifts through the ages mirroring changes in society’s views and cultural standards.
In the Middle Ages, art showed women in narrow roles, like the Virgin Mary or saints.
During the Renaissance, artists often painted women as muses or objects for men to admire.
In the 19th century female artists started to appear, but people often ignored their work.
The 20th century brought a wave of feminist art, which questioned how artists showed women.
Today, art shows gender in many more ways, with artists looking into gender identity, sex, and how different aspects of identity connect.
Even with progress, women and non-binary artists still face hurdles in the art world. Yet, their work keeps shaping how we see gender and its place in art.

Yes there is a moral to James Joyce’s story “Araby”. It is about a young boy who is infatuated with a friend of his, Mangan’s sister, and goes to the Araby bazaar in order to buy her something. When he gets there he finds the place empty and left with nothing but regret knowing that he has wasted his time. The moral of this short story would be not to have high expectations.
The disillusionment of the protagonist from his idealism.- This story highlights the gap between romantic dreams and reality of life. The perils of having unrealistic expectations. The boy’s heightened expectation leads to disappointment and realization.
The self awareness is the key: The story wants us to see the difference between our idealized vision and what the world really is.
On the whole, Araby warns against placing too much stock in romantic dreams of any kind, and encourages us to face reality — as disappointing as that sometimes may be.
