Discuss the work of Judy Chicago and its feminist content.
What will be an ideal response?
The ideal answer should include:
- Her series of 15 Pasadena Lifesavers exhibited in 1970 at Cal State Fullerton expressed, she felt, "the range of my own sexuality and identity, as symbolized through form and color."
- The Pasadena Lifesavers feminist content was affirmed by a statement on the gallery wall directly across from the entrance, which read: "Judy Gerowitz hereby divests herself of all names imposed upon her through male social dominance and freely chooses her own name Judy Chicago."
- Pasadena Lifesavers was ignored by male reviewers.
- The feminist content was, however, noticed with her collaboration The Dinner Party.
- In its bold assertion of woman's place in social history, The Dinner Party announced the growing power of the women's movement itself.
- More than 300 women worked together over a period of five years to create The Dinner Party, which consists of a triangular table set with 39 places, 13 on a side, each celebrating a woman who has made an important contribution to world history.
