I believe that Tolkien is one of those guys who thinks that a woman's beauty is her strongest point. Oh, well-so do most fairy tale writers.

Gasp and horror! [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]! Surely you don't believe that?! Look at Eowyn! Sure, she was pretty, as princesses go, but she had some guts to stand up to the Witch-king of Angmar for crying out loud, and fight him in hand-to-hand combat! Tolkien knew that women are people too, and that looks aren't everything.
