That's one of the problem of Tolkien, so chauvinistic in his story-telling (well, that's called tradition, but anyways). I think that f.ex. elves could be spoken by females?

So how about Elrond's council? There would be many roles - and if we pick the thing carefully - not too many pages-long monologues either? And elves for all the female voices - and maybe for the narrator's voice too?

Just a couple of pages to try first?
