But since we know what Tolkien could do when it comes to depicting strong females, we are the ones who should feel deprived...

A legitimate gripe if I ever saw one.
Though, to be honest, what is "strong"? If it means that Tolkien portrays a number of females in possession of wisdom and power, I agree 100%. But if you mean a "strong" character in terms of texture, I can't say I'm all that pleased with the way his female characters measure up to the males, perhaps with Andreth being an exception. It's a minor issue for me, but an issue nonetheless.
Of course, saying this has gotten me in trouble before. I should probably cut it out.
