A collection of inspiring and provocative quotations from
pioneering artist, feminist, and activist Judy Chicago A fierce
activist for women’s rights and against climate change, Judy
Chicago defines herself best: “I’m Judy Chicago, and I’m an
artist and a troublemaker.” A leader of the Women’s 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 (1974–1979), an iconic work that
celebrates female luminaries from history and mythology, including
Georgia O’Keefe, 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. “You don’t have to be
a man to support a patriarchal worldview, and you don’t have to
be a woman to support feminist values.” “You have to choose
hope. Hope comes from feeling that you’re on the side of right
and fighting for it. If you’re a passive observer to what’s
going on, it’s easy to give in to despair.” “Feminist art is
all the stages of a woman giving birth to herself.” “[Women]
should get fifty percent of the space in all institutions. That is
what our mandate has to be.”
