14 - Tolkien Takes Down The Patriarchy - Aldarion and Erendis: The Mariner‘s Wife Part 6

"But we need not assent. If we love Numenor also, let us enjoy it before they ruin it. We also are daughters of the great, and we have wills and courage of our own"

Having wrapped up the finished portion of Aldarion and Erendis: The Mariner's Wife, we now look back at the story and consider what it has to say about feminism, gender roles, and marriage, and discuss how Amazon might approach these concepts in their upcoming series. Helping us navigate these important issues is our first ever guest, brilliant author, and Michael's older sister, Heidi Rolland-Unruh.
