Female interiority
The following text is about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dinner_Party titled "The Dinner Party".
1. Does "female interiority" here mean "women doing home works" or "women's inward mental tendency"? I think the latter. Yes?
2. Does "a transcendent essence" refer to "female interiority"?
Context:
The Dinner Party is a successful envisioning of what a revisionist herstory might look like; it retrieves important women in history from oblivion. It furthermore urges female viewers to reclaim, as a feminist act, world history for themselves. It celebrates these women of history through “female” craft, and through a universalized image of female interiority, a transcendent essence that Chicago claims is largely metaphorical.
