F e m i n i s t  A r t  P r o g r a m:
            Original student in the first feminist art class for women only that was organized and taught by Judy Chicago at California State University, Fresno in 1970.  Continued with the Feminist Art Program at Cal-Arts with faculty members Judy Chicago and Miriam Schapiro, 1971-73.

W o m a n h o u s e:
            Students and faculty of the program at Cal-Arts worked together and transformed an abandoned mansion into an environment reflecting the dreams, ideas and emotions of women.  Related performances were presented during the exhibition of Womanhouse, January 21-February 27, 1972.  This collaborative project received international media attention and has been covered in numerous books as well as a documentary film that was made by Johanna Demitracas.
