To be honest, I have my doubts as to the value of creating fancy charts about the installation (and the women it names). There's more value in ensuring each has a quality article than there is in focusing on their representation in this one art piece.
Gotta admit, though....I remember seeing this in the early 1980s, and I came away thinking that women artists were just as obsessed with female genitalia as male artists.
