Eowyn is an interesting example of a strong woman. Though she is treated as “lesser” by the men who rule, she leads with power and grace. Her biggest fear is to be trapped under the feminine traditions, which she feels do not represent her well. Aragorn does well to refute her because of her duty, not because she is a woman. I’m sure there’s a better explanation than this.
