This list documents all 999 mythical, historical and notable women who are displayed on the handmade white tiles of the ''Heritage Floor'' as part of [[Judy Chicago]]'s ''[[The Dinner Party]]'' art installation (1979). The names appear as they are spelled on the floor. Since 2007 the installation has been on permanent exhibition in the [[Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art]] at the [[Brooklyn Museum]], New York.
