Growing up a woman in what is thought to be a man's world is difficult, particularly when one finds oneself no longer a child.

"Stabled like a broodmare, she watched her cousin leave, cursing her own body's betrayal." - Poor young Eowyn, growing up meant less, not more freedom. At that point, she probably wished she'd been born male.

Ah, the blessed curse of becoming a woman. I didn't take it well, myself - I can only imagine how one such as Eowyn would feel.

Oh, yes. I remember being told what was or wasn't appropriate behavior for "those days". Girls nowadays don't know how lucky they have it, if only because the perceptions of weakness and illness are gone. (Don't I sound like a cackling old biddie?)
