Judy Chicago (born Judith Sylvia Cohen) is a feminist artist and educator from a Jewish family in Chicago. Her monumental installation 'The Dinner Party' (1974–79) honored women's history and helped establish feminist art as a movement, and she co-founded the first feminist art programs in the United States. Her later work, including 'Holocaust Project,' also engages her Jewish heritage directly.
