Feminism was founded in the 19th century by those who defend that women should be equal to men. However, by time, feminism has experienced significant transformations and became a movement including different ideals. By the 1960s feminist movement was strengthened and moved far beyond the demand of equality with men. Feminist artists created works denouncing the historical continuity of the male mentality. And, Judy Chicago's The Dinner Party has a special place. This work presents to the viewers not only a feminist writing of the history but also summarizes the feminist ideal with its process of production. This work, which was started in 1974 under the leadership of Chicago and created by the voluntary cooperation of over four hundredartists, tries to embody all forms of art that are identified with femininity, such as painted porcelain, sewing, embroidery and weaving, and the field of art accepted as "precious", "high" or "liberal" which is under the hegemony of male mentality including painting, sculpture and architecture. Thus, a comprehensive and subtle response given by women to the West side that gives the priority of being a hero to men, and a revolutionary monument constructed with cooperation emerge. This article is a descriptive study, which aims to understand and interpret the Diner Party
