Tolkien was not sexist. At least not intentionally. He was a product of Victorian & Edwardian England. His female charecters are quite charming, brave,decisive
the former Erowyn's joining in armewd conflict the latter Arwen's giving up her immortality for the love of Aragon. That there copuld have been more female cahreters well yes. But it's to a female charecter , Rosey Gamgee that Sma Gamgee's coments , last line of the book is addressed "I'm back".
