Same woman? Wow indeed. Incredible, great find.
Is this the same Christine O’Donnell that won the Republican primary in Delaware last night?

She spells “Glorfindel” as “Glorfindal”.
How did the republican muck diggers miss that?
Interesting she was on FReepers radar (in a good way) way back then.

Uhm...
Of course, the reason that Tolkein wrote so little about women in the story, is because the story was concieved during the overshadowing experience of Tolkein’s (and C.S. Lewis’) life, the first world war.
There weren’t a lot of women in the trenches or on the battlefields.
If you examine the campaigns in LOTR, they line up in scope and movements similar to the real life war Tolkein fought through.
She missed two!
Rose Cotton
and
Eoreth herbswoman.
Eoreth was my favorite! “’The hands of the King are the hands of a healer’ I said, and that was how it was all figured out, and Gandalf, he said “long will men remember your words Eoreth””.
Rose Cotton wasn't bad either, loved her “Well you sure took your time getting back!” to Sam and her ironic “Don't lose him (Frodo) now that things are starting to get dangerous!” Sam didn't know what to say to THAT one! After Mordor and RingWraiths, some ruffians in the Shire were rather small change!
All writers have limitations
I assumed that this was one of his
I've read those book >15 times, always loved them
I thought Jackson actually did a good job of
“fleshing out” the female characters in this epic tale
and where he deviated from the story line,
he generally did well
I missed Goldberry and Tom Bombadil however

An oldie but goodie.
Eowyn is gorgeous and likable whether middle-earth or not.
ping!
O’Donnell, with her mega-watt smile and Celtic dimples, makes me think of Rosie Cotton.
