I loved Belgariad when I was young, but I don't know how a grown up reader would see them. I think even a grown up would find them entertaining.

Tolkien was a pre-Vatican 2 Catholic, I doubt he agreed with feminism at all:) <br /><br />Never heard about the story you mention, is it interesting?Sannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08124283361844607678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139017677124620997.post-67168500137612597662018-10-09T04:59:59.088-07:002018-10-09T04:59:59.088-07:00I wrote a long comment but it vanished. :(

If she is not feminist character, I do not know who is. And a woman fighting in armour is next to unpossible; medieval armours were at least 1/4 of knights body weight and boys were trained to carry them from very young age; in battle they had to carry it for hours and hours. They even had to poo in them... And Eowyn rocks it just like that? <br /><br />Have you read the Belgariad? I loved it when I was a teenager. Now when I think about it I notice that even though some women participate in the adventures (because of romance, they must), they still remain rather feminine. For example when Ce'Nedra starts wearing an armour, it is a lightweight one and she has absolutely no intention to fight in it; she wants to create a symbol of herself, little bit like Jeanne D'Arc.

Although I would love to be the slimmer, energetic, limber person I used to be when I was younger I am so happy to be living the life here at home. Peaceful is the word...for me and in our home. :) SarahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139017677124620997.post-64885849294040362722018-10-06T00:51:02.883-07:002018-10-06T00:51:02.883-07:00Thanks, Jo, I'm glad you liked it:)Thanks, Jo, I'm glad you liked it:)Sannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08124283361844607678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139017677124620997.post-77017946810076049792018-10-05T19:52:43.810-07:002018-10-05T19:52:43.810-07:00Amen!
