Sigh..

So, I finished The Silver Chair last night, and I just have one question:

Did Lewis write ANY adult female character who isn't evil or dead?

Wow. No wonder he didn't get married until he was in his 50s. At least Tolkien seemed to admire strong women.

One. In the Magician's Nephew. And a kind of personification of Venus-y thing in Perelandra, but I wouldn't really call it positive representation.

Oh, wait, Till We Have Faces has a female protagonist who ends up as an adult, I think. You might like her. Maybe not, though, religious undertones like whoa.
