This course will focus on The Dinner Party installation artwork by American feminist artist Judy Chicago. There are 39 elaborate place settings on a table for 39 mythical and historical famous women. The installation was created with the goal to end the ongoing cycle of omission in which women were written out of the historical record. “It suggests that women have the capacity to be prime symbol-makers, to remake the world in our own image and likeness.” In addition to covering the work, we will go over contribution of a selected number of women to the society and their efforts to improve the lot of other women.
