Broude offers a comparison between Cassatt’s The Tea and Berthe Morisot's On the Balcony, saying that the lack of opportunity given to female artists during this time to explore beyond "these so-called 'spaces of femininity' have even been seen to impact compositionally on the carefully delimited spacial stages on which women artists often placed their female subjects."
