I have often wondered about this: Tolkien's veiw on women. People are saying that LOTR is a sexist book because it is mostly comprised of men. The leaders are men, the fellowship is all guys. But, if you look at it, there are a few women in it; like Arwen, Eowen, Galadriel... What are your views on Tolkien towards women? [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
