...visit a forum for the first time and learn something new...

Does this suggest that Tolkien was expressing something akin to: even while Eowyn has the ability and desire to be a strong fighter, she does not lose her ability and capacity to be a women?

"Strong" does not negate "Feminine"

Cool

Leads me to appreciate Tolkien all the more...

(please flog me at the capstan if I have expressed myself poorly, or in bad taste. I intend no offense.)
