[quote=Anonymous]I'm French. For French people, Marianne is the female emblem of the Republic, present on official seals, postage stamps and replicated in bust form on hundreds of monuments and in government buildings. We call her La Marianne - the Marianne, accent on the first syllable, because there is only one. She was inspired by the allegorical woman from this famous painting, La Liberte Guidant Le Peuple by Delacroix (Liberty Guiding the People, during the Second French Revolution of 1830). As you can see, it's a strong image, and the name isn't hugely popular in France, because it's a lot for just one person to carry.
