Nice disscusion! I belive that they had classes, defined by birth, and relation with Finwe, Olwe and Eonwe. But also, except for the "royalty", the rest had to do all the work, but I think they did it with joy and grace, without getting payed, but for community benefit.
And now back to subject!
I think Elven woman were both strong and gentle in the same time. They survived Helcaraxe, plenty of battles led in their homes (Gondolin. Nargotrond...)They had to grab a sword if it was neccessary. I belive they were fascinating in those moments, and I'm very sorry there are not some specific stories, other then general ones (like those quotes from Morgot's ring). The Eowyn story is great; immagine what would be like to read about some Elven princess from the First Age?
