Éowyn is what I names my second daughter in 2008. I love her part in LOTR and knew no other name would do. No one knows how to say her name though set her up for a life of being known as just WYN! | Éowyn is what I names my second daughter in 2008. I love her part in LOTR and knew no other name would do.

The following passage is dodgy as hell. I can't ref it because it relies on a misinterpretation of Glorfindel's prophecy, and it totally ignores the awesomeness that is Galadriel. She was mother-named Nerwen for a reason. Anyway, unless someone can prove it with ref'd scholarship, leave it out. --[[User:Elf-esteem|Elf-esteem]] 05:20, 11 December 2015 (UTC) | |||
Éowyn's role in the stories challenges conventional stereotypes of the role of women. She succeeds where a man would have failed in slaying the [[Witch-king]] and throughout the books even when recovering from the wounds bought in that conflict she rebels against being left behind while the men go off to win glory in war. Her role more than any other female within the mythology challenges accusations of sexism commonly leveled at [[J.R.R. Tolkien|Tolkien]], and in many ways (intentionally or not) displays attitudes ahead of his time in regards to social equality.{{fact}} | |||

Eye colour
Do we have a reference for the eye-colour? I can find no such statement, and neither can Alberto Monteiro. An a priori assumption due to her heritage can be dismissed because she had Gondorian blood via Morwen Steelsheen. -- Ederchil 16:26, 11 February 2008 (EST)
Beautiful name
Éowyn is what I names my second daughter in 2008. I love her part in LOTR and knew no other name would do. No one knows how to say her name though set her up for a life of being known as just WYN!

Éowyn's role in the stories challenges conventional stereotypes of the role of women. She succeeds where a man would have failed in slaying the Witch-king and throughout the books even when recovering from the wounds bought in that conflict she rebels against being left behind while the men go off to win glory in war. Her role more than any other female within the mythology challenges accusations of sexism commonly leveled at Tolkien, and in many ways (intentionally or not) displays attitudes ahead of his time in regards to social equality.[source?]
