From the back of the book:
“A monumental sculpture, The Dinner Party is a symbolic history of women's achievements and struggles told through 39 china painted plates and elaborately embroidered runners which cover a triangular table. This book is the story of its creation and the history it represents."
Full book is in the Internet Archive.
