Christine O'Donnell praises Tolkien's women
Tea Party candidate O'Donnell said modern women should embrace JRR Tolkien's much-maligned female characters as role models
JRR Tolkien might have been described as misogynistic by some critics for creating only a handful of female characters among the hundreds of males in his fantasy epic Lord of the Rings, but if ultra-conservative Tea Party candidate Christine O'Donnell is to be believed, the author actually "offers insight into what it means to be a woman" in the novel.
