Q8 — names the self-portrait centers Anguissola's own perspective + claims professional identity
Hints
  1. Anguissola was 24 + noble + had family support.
  2. Working-class women painters DIDN'T have her opportunity even if equally talented.
Misconceptions to watch
  • Treating Anguissola as representative of all Renaissance women
  • Ignoring class privilege
