菲利普断言，早期现代对绘画、化妆品和诗歌的态度源自并呼应着共同的文化史。在物质上，她将那些用颜料创作女性形象的人与那些通过类似媒介、工具、技术和接触有毒物质在自己身上涂抹化妆品的人联系起来。她通过绘画、被描绘的女性和女画家的联系，论述了性别和道德等历史和社会问题。通过梳理女性从事的这些活动与女性、男性对她们的视觉和文学表现之间的复杂关系，菲利普旨在揭示女性在艺术和生物学意义上创造性角色的描述和越界。在本书中，菲利普对女性作为绘画的对象和推动力进行了跨学科研究。

本书对文学和视觉艺术中对女性的描绘和女性的自我再现进行溯源分析，围绕着早期现代对“绘画”的多重意义：在画布上作画的视觉艺术创作，以及使用化妆品来描绘女性的身体。本书作者帕特里夏·菲利普（Patricia Phillippy）将她的研究落脚于在16、17世纪的意大利、法国和英国，她汇集了三种不同的角色：用化妆品妆点自己的女人，在画布上作画的女人，用颜料或文字刻画女人的女人和男人。

This original analysis of the representation and self-representation of women in literature and visual arts revolves around multiple early modern senses of "painting": the creation of visual art in the form of paint on canvas and the use of cosmetics to paint women's bodies. Situating her study in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Italy, France, and England, Patricia Phillippy brings together three distinct actors: women who paint themselves with cosmetics, women who paint on canvas, and women and men who paint women―either with pigment or with words.

Phillippy asserts that early modern attitudes toward painting, cosmetics, and poetry emerge from and respond to a common cultural history. Materially, she connects those who created images of women with pigment to those who applied cosmetics to their own bodies through similar mediums, tools, techniques, and exposure to toxic materials. Discursively, she illuminates historical and social issues such as gender and morality with the nexus of painting, painted women, and women painters.

Teasing out the intricate relationships between these activities as carried out by women and their visual and literary representation by women and by men, Phillippy aims to reveal the delineation and transgression of women's creative roles, both artistic and biological. In Painting Women, Phillippy provides a cross-disciplinary study of women as objects and agents of painting.
