Abstract: The Waitresses was one of the first performance art groups to emerge from the Los Angeles Woman's Building. Founded in 1977
by Jerri Allyn and Anne Gauldin, the group used their collective experiences working as waitresses to explore feminist issues
such as sex discrimination and wage inequality in the food service industry. Materials in the collection document the performances
produced by the group from 1976 to 1985, as well as
American Dining: A Working Woman's Movement, a performance produced by Jerri Allyn from 1986 to 1989. Materials also relate to a 25th anniversary re-staging of five
performances in 2007, as well as other exhibitions and publications about The Waitresses after 1985. The collection consists
of performance notes, scripts, costumes, photographs, press clippings, props and ephemera, research files related to social
issues in the food service industry, and audiovisual recordings related to various performances and exhibitions.

Biographical / Historical
The Waitresses was a performance art group founded by Jerri Allyn and Anne Gauldin in 1977 while they were students at the
Feminist Studio Workshop (FSW), a program of the Los Angeles Woman's Building. Drawing from their experiences working as waitresses,
they created performance art related to the issues of sex discrimination, stereotyping, and wage inequality. The group staged
their first performance, the seven-day
Ready to Order? (1978) which took place at various restaurants in the Venice neighborhood of Los Angeles and intended to educate customers
who may not have been aware of labor issues in the food service industry. The group eventually grew to include fourteen members,
including Elizabeth Canelake, Anne Mavor, Anita Green, Chutney Gunderson, and Denise Yarfitz, who wore waitress uniforms and
adapted personas such as "Wonder Waitress" and the multi-breasted "Great Goddess Diana," in various performances produced
in restaurants, conferences, and other unconventional settings. The Waitresses stopped performing in 1985, but Jerri Allyn
continued creating performance art related to the issues surrounding waitressing in the performance series
American Dining: A Working Woman's Movement, from 1986 to 1989.
