This kind of topic was thoroughly discussed in the thread titled: Are Tolkien's Books Sexist? It went way off topic so to anyone who posts here, don't do the same!

It was part of Victorian culture to put women on a pedistal and view them as angelic beings. Sometimes I wouldn't mind that....

The only problem with the Victorian treatment of women, as well as Tolkien's portrayal of them is the fact that the above ideal of an angel on a pedestal is about as real as the Tooth Fairy.
