I agree with Voralphion that since Middle-earth has a bit of a medieval time setting where women weren't expected to fight. In the Medieval times women were the ones who took care of the childeren and whom did all the household chores or in the case of a lady embroidery.
It might have been a bit out of place if the women were also allowed to fight etc. Therefore its great to read about Eowyn slaying the Witch King because no other women in LOTR does this kind of thing.
