Judy Chicago’s iconic feminist work The Dinner Party represents in visual form the remarkable women history forgot. Judy Chicago: Revelations is the highly illustrated chronicle of their lives and achievements, fifty years in the making. A feminist retelling of the creation myth and the course of human history, dreamed up during the creation of The Dinner Party and published for the first time as an illuminated manuscript for our times. Uniting archival artwork, much of it previously unseen, and new work created especially for the book, Judy Chicago: Revelations reads like an engrossing novel, and will have the feel of a sacred text newly discovered by the reader.
