We interrupt Art History Radio for a brief at another mover and shaker in Feminism and the arts. For as long as I have taken art history and other courses that leaned towards Feminism, I have read articles that dissected women’s roles in the public and private space. I am not the first one to write this, but Judy Chicago’s The Dinner Party brings women (and their most intimate spaces) out in the open.

I love the “Dinner Party.” I lived in Brooklyn for one summer, and I had so much fun seeing this work of art in-person. There are so many amazing and intricate details in all of the place settings. It’s such an impressive monument to women.
Wow, how lucky for you! I would love to see it myself.
