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.

I was reading up on him a bit recently, and didn't realize that his initial marriage to Joy was only a green card sort of arrangement. And then she got sick. So I'm not sure he ever really had true, romantic/sexual love with a woman, which may explain a lot.

(My personal theory, of course, is that he had a Big Ol' Crush on Tolkien, which kept him from pursuing relationships with anyone else.)
