Funny thing is, and I haven't read LOTR in a while, I can't think of any female characters apart from Galadriel and Eowyn. Galadriel is only sympathetic if you've read The Silmarillion, and although I'm glad that Faramir was rewarded with a loved one (I adored Faramir, by far my favorite character) it didn't feel like a fitting end for Eowyn. She kind of went from being Joan of Arc to the Duchess of York.

Well, there was Ioreth (IIRC), the woman who tells them where to find athelas, but she was just sort of comic relief, I thought.
