That was my response as well, when I finally got to see The Dinner Party a month ago. I was also amazed at how many of the women I know quite well (it has been 30 years), but also how many I still don't really know about. And I realized, looking at that art, just how much that core imagery (of Georgia O'Keefe as well as Judy Chicago) has influenced my aesthetic. (As you may know, I also used to teach Women's Studies, from 1975 - 1991.) Mary Ann –

My response at the time was to cry. It changed my life and I forever humbly bow to Judy Chicago for her insight, her talent, her courage. The experience planted the seeds of my own feminism. I taught Women's Studies for several years after and never failed to introduce students to the Dinner Party so they too could be inspired.
