Eowyn and Dernhelm
Dr. Sara Brown
A fascinating paper viewing Tolkien’s characterization of Éowyn through a queer lens. Dr. Sarah Brown proposes that when Éowyn rides as Dernhelm, it is not a disguise but an intrinsic part of her: an outward projection of her masculine femininity in a non-normative expression of gender.
