Example: According to studies done of painted portraits of Renaissance women, it was suggested that the ideal women had an “unapproachable” beauty and that “outward beauty signified an inner beauty of sprit” (Brown 7).

In-text Citations – Example 2

“What a woman wore depended on her age (older women preferred more traditional styles), background (rural noblewomen weren't privy to the latest London fashions), body type (some larger women may have worn styles that flattered their figure) and individual taste” (Leed).
