What will be an ideal response?
Judy Chicago was a feminist artist who created works addressing gender in a variety of media, subjects, and themes. The Dinner Party is perhaps her most important work from the 1970s feminist movement. Arranged around a triangular table were 39 place settings, each individually designed by different artists in honor of an influential woman. By using craft techniques such as ceramics, weaving, needlepoint, and embroidery, Chicago physically associated the piece with "women's work."
