Judy Chicago

The Dinner Party 
by 
Judy Chicago

Judy Chicago was part of a handful of feminist artists that pioneered the expanse of females in the art world. She even taught a class that was specifically for women. She is known for large installation projects like the one above that examine women's role in society. She includes stereotypically feminine art means as in needlework, but also contrasts that with the stereotypical masculine work; metal work, welding, etc.
