Introduction
The The Progressive Dinner Party was based off of Judy Chicago’s exhibition The Dinner Party. As of 2019, Chicago’s work is being displayed at the Brooklyn Museum in New York. The piece itself is a series of three tables positioned in a large triangle, which contain a total of 39 place settings for each historical female figure she chose to highlight. Chicago’s goal was to preserve the memory of these impactful women and prevent them from being lost to history. Similarly, Carolyn Guertin and M. D. Coverley created The Progressive Dinner Party to honor and preserve works of early electronic literature created by female artists.
