which summarizes: "Writing women back into history: A blog post at the
Brooklyn Museum highlights Alexandra Thom's goal of chronicling all
1,038 women in Judy Chicago's *Dinner Party* on Wikipedia."  You can

I've never seen "The Dinner Party" but I mean to someday, partly because
of my spouse's description: "Judy Chicago's piece is a monument to dead
and mythological heroes, realized in media traditionally associated with
women: ceramics, sewing, weaving, embroidery, lace, and (implied) food.
It serves as a counterweight to all of history's monuments honoring
men."  (My spouse wrote a science fiction novel that features "The
Dinner Party".)
