Womanhouse (January 30 – February 28, 1972) was a feminist art installation and performance space organized by Judy Chicago and Miriam Schapiro, co-founders of the California Institute of the Arts (CalArts) Feminist Art Program and was the first public exhibition of art centered upon female empowerment. Chicago, Schapiro, their students, and women artists from the local community, including Faith Wilding, participated.[1] Chicago and Schapiro encouraged their students to use consciousness-raising techniques to generate the content of the exhibition.[2] Together, the students and professors worked to build an environment where women's conventional social roles could be shown, exaggerated, and subverted.[3]
Only women were allowed to view the exhibition on its first day, after which the exhibition was open to all viewers. During the exhibition's duration, it received approximately 10,000 visitors.[4]
