Theodora Place Setting
Why was Theodora chosen over other Byzantine women like Irene or Anna Comnena?
Judy Chicago and her research team chose the "Guests of Honor" out of all the women they researched based on their contributions to society as a whole, how they improved conditions for women, and how well they served as a symbol for other women or a role model for the future.
