Female sculptures in Oslo

Oslo has got its brand new sculpture park at Ekeberg, featuring female sculptures or art on the topic of women. I am still saving that to later, for a day with nice weather and plenty of time. But in the meanwhile, what does the city center offer when it comes to female sculptures? I walked around to have a look. At first glance all women seemed to be more or less naked, mostly put in shopping malls or shopping areas, and mostly made by men, like Per Ung, Emil Lie and Skule Vaksvik.
