This dissertation looks in detail at Judy Chicago's The dinner party. It explores the complex issues surrounding its use of materials and subject matter in relation to the views held at the time and why it became, and remains such a controversial piece of art. By looking at other female artists practising at the same time as Chicago and at more modern interpretations, I have explored some of the issues surrounding feminism today and how the movement has changed since the 70's. The main focus of this dissertation is exploring women's use of textiles and ceramics within their artwork, and the attempt to legitimise this type of craft as an art form. I explore in depth the challenges women artists face in pushing the boundaries of female representation. I examine the current debate among young feminists concerning the direction and purpose of the women's movement today. I have related these arguments back to my own work and the struggles I find in overcoming these challenges.
