Also Mulan is an ancient Chinese legend. Though Tolkien was more of the Norse type of guy, I'm sure he could have read the legend....*shrugs* Unlikely. <P>Also from my limited experience, it seems that myths repeat themselves (though with variations) in each culture. Think of all of the Cinderella myths, for example. So maybe there was a woman who dressed like a man in Norse history. Just a thought.<P>Iris probably has the right idea, though.
