The Dinner Party is an installation artwork by feminist artist Judy Chicago. Widely regarded as the first epic feminist artwork, it functions as a symbolic history of women in Western civilization. There are 39 elaborate place settings arranged along a triangular table for 39 mythical and historical famous women. Virginia Woolf, Susan B. Anthony, Sojourner Truth, Eleanor of Aquitaine, and Theodora of Byzantium are among the guests.

I find this artwork very creative and interesting.  You can learn more about its story in the video, which is narrated by its creator Judy Chicago.  And you can also go visit it by yourself in the Brooklyn Museum!

This is an article I found of a woman who wakes up from removing her wisdom tooth, devastated that she is not Nicki Minaj.

It reminded me of Gregor waking up as a cockroach.
