Bataillon(s)
(Bataillon = military unit
Bataillons = let's battle - first person plural of the present indicative of the verb 'batailler'.)

"Through this word play in French, I wanted to point out that women always have to fight to make a place for themselves. The 'Just look pretty and be quiet' approach, represented by these busts without arms or heads modelling bras, is regrettably still a widespread image of women in our societies. In some areas it is a daily battle, even though women have good heads on their shoulders and have often been to university."
