The series is made up of curvaceous women sculptures that explore female roles in society. Its title is a French word, that can be derogatory, meaning “girls” and the first ones that de Saint Phalle made challenge stereotypical women’s roles. They portray females as child bearers, witches, devouring mothers, and sex workers. Later ones are more joyous and many are seen with their arms raised. Whether this is out of rage or happiness depends on the sculpture. They are colorful, include motifs and in The New Yorker de Saint Phalle said, “I think I made them so large so that man would look very small next to them.” A very feminist thing to do. Like Chiuri, what she created touched on social issues.
