The Role of Women in The Lord of the Rings

[Bêthberry]

My goodness, davem, you have not considered the line with which I follow up the paragraph you quote from me.

I posted

Well, I am not so sure that in Middle earth Eowyn's choices are limited to healing or slaying. She could be historian or loremaster. Granted, bar maid or miller or tanner would not be suitable for her status. Maybe she could open a riding academy.

Joking aside, thank you for providing that quotation from Donovan....

The bolding now is mine.

Obligations here take me away and I so I have no more time to consider some of the very fine points made here by all of you. HI, where would we be without you as our Archivist Extraordinaire? Didn't Lush have a good thread on Eowyn also?
