The “Sunday, bloody Sundays” salons
In the early 1970s Bourgeois held gatherings at her home in Chelsea that filled with young artists and students whose work she critiqued. Her ruthlessness in critique and her dry sense of humour gave the meetings their name, “Sunday, bloody Sundays”.

Joins the Fight Censorship Group
Bourgeois aligned herself with activists and became a member of the Fight Censorship Group, a feminist anti-censorship collective founded by the artist Anita Steckel; in the 1970s the group defended the use of sexual imagery in art.
