BarbaraJean I hadn't heard of this book--and it sounds fabulous! I've just discovered I can check it out on Hoopla. (Adding it to the reading list now!) 4h
Daisey @BarbaraJean It‘s been on my list for a while now. I don‘t know that I‘ll do more than read an essay randomly, but I‘m so glad to have finally started it! 3h

After finishing The Fall of Arthur this morning, I pulled this book from my shelf this evening. In the introduction, the description of this essay relating Eowyn to a female medieval knight seemed a perfect complement to my earlier reading. It‘s a truly interesting analysis of Eowyn‘s character development from court lady to acting lord of Rohan to shield maiden and finally to wife and healer.

This is a perfect #Jolabokaflod gift! I‘ve had this book of essays about women in the works of Tolkien on my wish list for quite a while and am looking forward to at least choosing one of them to read later this evening while also enjoying some delicious Dove truffles. Thank you to @Light_of_Aether for a great gift and to @MaleficentBookDragon for organizing this wonderfully festive swap!
