Abstract: During the 7th century, women played varying roles throughout the world. In Greece, the art reflects that women had a home-centered lifestyle, rarely able to leave home alone. The women of Rome were sexualised through sculpture and were depicted for political agendas. In China, the Tang Dynasty had its first and last female emperor. However, Mesoamerican women in Maya sites like Palenque, Calakmul, and Yaxchilan had a higher social status. They were visually represented in art, having official duties involving the military and outside the house. Maya lintels recorded the duty of a queen, tablets showed women having roles within coordination ceremonies, and murals displayed in public places emphasized women of a higher class. Analyzing clothing, social distinction, visual narratives, and women's duty seen through art conveys their status within their community, proving that Maya women had more rights and opportunities than other 7th-century women around the world.
