| Where Was Judy Chicago Born |
Chicago, Not the City, the Girl
So, where did this artistic powerhouse hail from? Drumroll, please... Chicago, Illinois. Mind blown? I know, right? Who would have thought the city of wind would give birth to someone who would shake up the art world? Turns out, the Windy City bred more than just deep-dish pizza and iconic architecture. It also produced a fierce feminist artist.
Tip: Write down what you learned.
Judy, Not Judith
Born Judith Sylvia Cohen in 1939, she later decided, "Screw this, I'm Judy Chicago now." Talk about a rebrand! It was like dropping the 'Khloe' and going by 'Koko' but with a much bigger impact. A bold move, to say the least. And hey, it stuck.
QuickTip: A quick skim can reveal the main idea fast.

A Name with a Purpose
You might be wondering, "Why Chicago?" Well, it's a nod to her roots. Kind of like when you use your hometown as your online handle. Except, in Judy's case, it was a powerful statement about identity and ownership.
Tip: Absorb, don’t just glance.
So, Judy's a Chicagoan?
Yep, through and through. But don't go looking for her house or anything. She's probably busy creating another groundbreaking piece of art. Or maybe she's just enjoying a deep-dish pizza. We can dream, right?
Tip: Read once for gist, twice for details.
