Eowyn and feminism and Tolkien - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I think Tolkien and women are somewhat difficult. But he makes up for it with Eowyn and Galadriel. Galadriel is strong and obviously beautiful and in control in her relationship.

With Eowyn, yes she pines for Aragorn, but hey, she liked him. I think that's a fair reaction without having to be dependent on men.
