Interesting you cite the Pern books there... as much as I love the series, I do have issues with how the women are portrayed after their first book appearance. They generally turn into bitches or wet rags. With the exception of Moreta (for obvious reasons).

Sadly, I have to agree. I found several women very grating. The only thing I would add, however, is that all the characters became very one-dimensional as the books came along. Groghe and some of the original lord holders were fairly nuanced in the first books. But then everyone had to be divided into pro-Bendon and anti-Bendon where those who weren't for Bendon were basically cookie-cutter villains. And, of course, Robinton was a saint.

It's just sad that the one-dimensional characterization for people like Lessa was to be such a bitch. (I don't like to use that term but she really was by the end. She was so unreasonably petty and angry.)

The Pern books aren't perfect by any means, but I was mostly trying to point out that "female characters who do stuff" is a really, really low bar. Eddings having flat annoying characters wasn't groundbreaking for the time.

If we were talking the 1880s I'd be more forgiving, but I was alive in the 80s, it wasn't exactly a cesspit of women-as-cattle even in just fantasy books.
