A fierce activist for women鈥檚 rights and against climate change, Judy Chicago defines herself best: 鈥淚鈥檓 Judy Chicago, and I鈥檓 an artist and a troublemaker.鈥� A leader of the Women鈥檚 Art Movement of the 1970s, Chicago also founded the first feminist art program in the United States. She is renowned for her monumental installation The Dinner Party (1974鈥�1979), an iconic work that celebrates female luminaries from history and mythology, including Georgia O鈥橩eeffe, Emily Dickinson, Sojourner Truth, and Hatshepsut. Gathered from interviews and other sources, Judy Chicago-isms is an inspiring collection of the memorable and powerful words of a trailblazing artist.
- 鈥淵ou don鈥檛 have to be a man to support a patriarchal worldview, and you don鈥檛 have to be a woman to support feminist values.鈥�
- 鈥淵ou have to choose hope. Hope comes from feeling that you鈥檙e on the side of right and fighting for it. If you鈥檙e a passive observer to what鈥檚 going on, it鈥檚 easy to give in to despair.鈥�
- 鈥淔eminist art is all the stages of a woman giving birth to herself.鈥�
- 鈥淸Women] should get fifty percent of the space in all institutions. That is what our mandate has to be.鈥�
