It's an artist perspective on the female experience.
For much of the history of western philosophy, the body has been conceptualised as simply one biological object among others, part of a biological nature, which our rational faculties set us apart from, as well as an instrument to be directed, and a possible source of disruption to be controlled.

FEMALE WARRIORS:
Joan of Arc
A minor irony of 1920 was that the Roman Catholic Church canonized a teenage peasant girl, Joan of Arc, it had burned back in 1431. A non-ordinary teenage peasant, a girl-turned-war commander, Joan of Arc did her utmost to defeat English forces who had invaded France. She advised the heir to the French throne and even led forces in war from 1429 until 1431 when she was captured. The young heroine was then burned at the stake as a heretic and sorcerer by the English.
Heresy was a capital crime only for a repeat offence; therefore, Joan of Art offence of "cross-dressing". Since wearing men's hosen enabled her to fasten her hosen, boots and doublet together, this deterred rape by making it difficult to pull her clothes off. She was evidently afraid to give up this clothing even temporarily, as the woman's dress offered no such protection.
Nonetheless, at the trial in 1431, she was condemned and sentenced to die. Boyd described Joan's trial as so "unfair" that the trial transcripts were later used as evidence for canonizing her in the 20th century. Joan of Arc became a semi-legendary figure for the four centuries after her death.
The executioner, Geoffroy Thรฉrage, later stated that he "greatly feared to be damned for he had burned a holy woman."
