    This work is a test plate created by Judy Chicago for her installation The Dinner Party, 1974-1979, which is widely celebrated as a foundational work of feminist art and is now in the Brooklyn Museum’s collection. One of thirty-nine place settings dedicated to women through history, it is dedicated to Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797), who authored A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, 1792, a book that is regarded as the earliest and most important treatise advocating equality for women.
