My sixth “Ladies of LOtR” is Éowyn, the Shieldmaiden of Rohan. Y’all, Éowyn rules! She’s gotta be the best written female character in the series. Driven by a desire for independence and a longing to prove her worth in a world dominated by men, she conceals her identity to fight in the Battle of Pelennor Fields and totally Marie Antoinette’d the Witch-King. No living man is she!
