Judy Chicago is defined by the art world as the founder of the concept of "feminist art." Her creations revolve around patterns with metaphorical and symbolic colors, such as "reproductive organs," "flowers," and "butterflies." In the 1970s, feminist artists began to contemplate using the female body as a subject of creation, using artistic language to advocate for the political metaphor of female reproductive organs as an independent center of discourse apart from male-centered phallic symbolism. This body art unleashes the freedom and nature that feminist artists have long been suppressed by patriarchal society. Against this backdrop, Judy Chicago created "The Dinner Party."
