Recently I had the opportunity to go to the Brooklyn Museum and see The Dinner Party by Judy Chicago. I had heard about for over 30 years and it was good to see that it had such a nice home.
The place settings were great, of course, and easy enough to take in in a reasonable amount of time. But the Heritage Panels contained far too much information to take in while I was there. So it was a happy find to see that there is such a well thought out web site associated with the artwork - with a virtual magnifying glass so that one can read the The Heritage Panels at one’s convenience.
A lot of the information seems to overlap what I have read in various books, such as When God Was a Woman by Merlin Stone (1978) and The Chalice and the Blade By Riane Eisler (1994).
It’s nice to have it all clearly laid out.
