At least Galadriel poured her own water!

I'm thinking of the racial differences of the elves, but it may not necessarily mean that one race works for the other.

Quote:
Among the Noldor the farming was usually (though not always) women's work as was the baking of bread though the prepartion of other foods was generally reserved to men. The men were more often the smiths and wrights, composers and inventors, foresters and hunters, while the women usually were the seamtresses and muscians. Among the Eldar more generally those arts associated with healing and the care of the body tended to be the province of women while the arts of war were usually in the care of men.
I liked the way the Eldar does their work. It could be that they acquired these because of all the wars and conflicts that may ensanger their race.
