Editorial Reviews

Product Description
The creator of The Holocaust Project and The Dinner Party explores her evolution as an artist in a story that will inspire and exhilarate anyone who has tried to find "a room of his/her own" in a world which ignores women's contributions. Photos and full-color art throughout.

About the Author
Judy Chicago is an artist, author, feminist, educator and intellectual whose career now spans over four decades. Her work and life are models for an enlarged definition of art, an expanded role for the artist, and a woman’s right to freedom of expression. Her influence both within and beyond the art community is attested to by her inclusion in hundreds of publications throughout the world. Her art has been frequently exhibited in the United States and internationally, and her ten published books have brought her art and philosophy to readers around the world. Chicago lives in Belen, New Mexico with her husband, photographer Donald Woodman and their beloved bevy of cats. For more information, explore her website, www.judychicago.com.

5.0 out of 5 stars WONDERFUL! WONDERFUL! WONDERFUL!, May 7, 1997
By A Customer
This book was like a loyal companion as I experienced my own struggles as a woman artist. I commend Judy Chicago for sharing her experiences, personal decisions, and insights. Reading this particular book helped me to finish my most recent exhibition of work. Thank you, Judy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Judy Chicago; Goddess of the Art World!, January 1, 2001
By JMapp (Fairfax, VA) - See all my reviews
Judy Chicago is such an intimate person, very emotional in her work, and through this book, you will grow to understand why and how she produced work in her very own style of emotion. She is truely a Goddess of Art, and a very strong women of which I could only strive to be! This book is so empowering, read it if you have any doubts about your place as a women dealing with being an artist. BRAVO!!

By A Customer
What a wonderful book this is; so inspired, so inspiring. Judy Chicago is simply brilliant. She has challenged patriarchal tyranny so courageously and insightfully that you can read this book again and again with acute pleasure.
