What makes this exhibition special is the group photograph of the participating artists that is featured on the card, catalogue, and poster. The photo staged by Mary Ann Monforton and taken by James Hamilton includes 29 of the artists; Betty Woodman, Miriam Schapiro, Jane Dickson, Joan Snyder, Joyce Kozloff, Lorna Simpson, Mierle Ukeles, May Stevens, Louise Bourgeois, Judy Pfaff, April Gornik, Mary Beth Edelson, among others.  The Algonguin Hotel, famous for its literary roundtable in the 1920s, lends a historic pedigree to this group of artists, while the tea-party setting both evokes Judy Chicago’s famous Dinner Party and provides a convivial atmosphere for a gathering of women.
