Women vs. desire of the ring

[Purple Monkey]

And yet did it turn Smeagol into a murderer in one day.

Hardly over a couple of minutes, actually. This is a great thread, don't let it die. I'd say, (at the risk of being more than a little repetitive of others) that it could have easily corrupted any woman that came close enough to it. There's not much of a difference, really, is there? It depends on the individual. Eowyn would have been more tempted than a 'normal' woman, say.
