LOTR is such an interesting fandom for this type of consideration. There really are astonishingly few female characters ever mentioned, and the ones that are tend to have somewhat restricted roles.

Obviously, there are exceptions, as Eowyn shows up on pretty much every KICK ASS female character list ever.

On a side note, when I saw the LOTR musical in London, I was amazed and pleased at how the play used Galadriel so differently. I not only liked her, but I even understood her a little bit. It was interesting!

Thanks for taking the survey!
