Judy Chicago's The Dinner Party is an installation consisting of a banquet table with places set for 39 mythical and historical women; it honors an additional 999 women by inscribing their names in gold. The work, completed in 1979, addresses the absence of women from dominant historical narratives. Chicago intended The Dinner Party to be so vast and impressive that women could never again be erased from history.

adrienne maree brown promotes healing ideas through her multigenre writing, music, and podcasts. She is the author and editor of several published texts, as well as the cogenerator of a tarot deck and developing musical ritual. Here, she discusses abolitionist and suffragist Sojourner Truth.

This episode is part of The Dinner Party Today, a series by the Brooklyn Museum in which artists, writers, and thinkers reflect on the artwork's legacy and the women it represents.
