Although it debuted in 1979, Judy Chicago's art sample The
Dinner Party started to be developed and refined in 1973 and 1974.  Chicago's art piece
is an invaluable contribution to the discussion of early feminist art in the 1970s.  It
represents feminism of the time period in a variety of ways.  The first is that it seeks
to redefine women's view of history.  Chicago said that her intent in the art sample was
to develop a narrative that spoke the voices of women who have been silenced by
traditional historical discourse.  This represents feminism in a couple of ways.  The
first is that it stresses the idea that history needs to be re-conceptualized into a
genre whereby one can fully appreciate the role of women.  At the same time, the design
and structure of the art sample to represent both women and the physicality of woman is
something representative of 1970s feminism.  Seeking to strike a pose in which women did
not have to feel that their own physical and sexual identities were to be dictated by
men, there is an overt statement in which the physical concept of woman is present,
challenging how patriarchy defined sexuality:

The place settings present the sexual images of
women's bodies, primarily images of the vagina, which were seen as vulgar by
conservative reviewers.

In
this, Chicago's work challenges viewers to reconfigure their physical and intellectual
conceptions of women, representative of the movement in the early
1970s.
