O’Keeffe’s “almost successful aspiration to be entirely her own woman

"In 1979, Georgia O’Keeffe at ninety-two was the only living woman to be included in artist Judy Chicago’s “The Dinner Party.” A tribute in place settings of porcelain and embroidery to thirty-nine important women in history. O’Keeffe’s plate rose off the table higher than any other plate—symbolizing, in Chicago’s view, O’Keeffe’s “almost successful aspiration to be entirely her own woman.” ~Jean Shinoda Bolen
