Question

Which of the following is not true of women’s hand? b.
It was used mainly by secular painters
d.
It was a style only used by women.

Answer 1

Both b and d are not true.

- b is false: the “women’s hand” isn’t primarily associated with secular painters; it’s a manuscript hand tied to scribal/writing practice (often in religious/convent contexts).
- d is false: despite the name, it was not exclusively used by women — the label is misleading.
