Lily

Aragorn is trying to remind her that her charge is to govern her people. And then he tries to impart the importance of the task by telling her that one day maybe none will return from battle, and that "valour without renown" and the "last defence of your homes" are valiant deeds.

She got upset by this either because she was upset by not going or felt scorned by his rebuff. So she gave a hot-blooded response. Do you think Aragorn meant "..you are a woman, and your part is in the house."? I don't.
