Chicago, Judy (1939-...), is an American sculptor and writer who became a leader in the feminist art movement. Chicago creates large multimedia projects that celebrate the unique qualities she sees in womankind. She is best known for her large sculpture called The Dinner Party (1974-1979). The work consists of a triangular dinner table, each side 48 feet (14.6 meters) long. The Dinner Party integrates traditional women's crafts, such as weaving and embroidery, with ceramics. On the table are 39 place settings that honor famous women throughout history, both real and mythical. More than 400 artists contributed to the project.
