ABSTRACT
In October 1971, at the California Institute of the Arts in Valencia, California, twenty-one young women who wanted to become professional artists entered the radically new Feminist Art Program (FAP) organized as a community of women by its designers, Judy Chicago and Miriam Schapiro. While the experiment had a short life—faltering in its second year and ending in its third—this vanguard community made itself a memorable place in the history of both feminism and art.
