Window on the West

Personal reflections on my passions: Literature, film, and music; the politics of breastfeeding, parenting, and childbirth; current events; pithy observations.

Those Elusive Dwarf Women Revealed - Sorry, Totally Different Topic



Readers of J.R.R.Tolkien have long wondered just what the Dwarf women looked like. Some have speculated that there were no Dwarf women, that the Dwarves just sprang up from the ground. In truth, though Dwarf men outnumber the Dwarf women, they are so alike in voice and appearance, that few can tell the difference. There has even been debate about whether or not Dwarf women have beards. Here is a rare photograph of two Dwarf Women, apparently all prettied up for a party.

"Dwarf women"

LoL- Not quite like I would have pictured them to be. Since men were the only ones to go around wearing pants (other than Eowyn sneaking off in disguise); I thought that the dwarf women did so as well. I think that it would have been rather hard to move around in a dress while working and living in the mines.
