The Dinner Party: Judy Chicago and the Power of Popular Feminism, 1970-2007

Judy Chicago’s monumental art installation, The Dinner Party, was an immediate sensation when it debuted in 1979 and today is considered the most popular artwork to emerge from the second-wave feminist movement. In The Dinner Party: Judy Chicago and the Power of Popular Feminism, 1970—2007, Jane F. Gerhard examines the installation’s popularity to understand how ideas about feminism migrated from activist and intellectual circles into the American mainstream in the last three decades of the 20th century.
