Nearly 30 years ago, feminist artist Judy Chicago gathered the world's most notable women around a massive triangular banquet table in an spectacular multimedia installation called The Dinner Party.

"Judy Chicago's The Dinner Party: A Symbol of Our Heritage is a revolution in a book. Although much has changed radically in the past few decades, Chicago's book is still relevant, and it most certainly suggests that there is and always has been, room for everyone at the table. When I was 28-years-old I was browsing the art book stacks and Chicago's book fell off the shelf into my hands (I've come to accept this type of occurence - sometimes as Fate, and sometimes as somebody on the other side of the shelf returning a book a little too forcefully). All histrionics aside, I can say I left the library that day a different person. I went to college, I'm a reader, I try to stay informed, and yet, I had never heard of the majority of these women or their accomplishments or contributions to the world. Ever heard of Martia Proba from 4th Century Rome? No, probably not, but you're aware of trial by jury (her idea). Rosalyn Rusch? (she commanded fees for her floral paintings Rembrandt would have killed for), and so on... Not to mention all the advances in science, mathmatics, art, politics, religion, pretty much everything that was attributed incorrectly, or not at all. In addition to learning about amazing women,of course there is Chicago's beautiful artwork to saturate your senses. A hearty feast of a book!"
