Comments

[kamino_neko]

Not much is mentioned on how dwarves look like, that is, whether they are ugly or not aside that the women have beards.

Did he ever actually say the women had beards? I remember a lot of complaining about the joke in the movie where Aragorn (IIRC) mimes a beard when Gimli's talking about female dwarves, because, the complainers said, Tolkien never said that, and that's just fan speculation.

[forgottenjester]

I read his books a long time ago but I never remember him saying/writing that either. However, I do remember the wank that part of the movie created. Mostly because some people were arguing that there were no dwarf women. But I could have sworn there were dwarf women mentioned extremely briefly. But beards? I don't think it was ever mention but it would be good to check with a few people here who know more.

[dazzledfirestar]

Dis Daughter of Thrain II is mentioned in the Appendix of LOTR, so yeah. Dwarf women existed. They're supposedly only about a third of the population. To quote Tolkien's Appendix directly:

They are in voice and appearance, and in garb if they must go on a journey, so like the dwarf men that the eyes and ears of other peoples cannot tell them apart.

That's probably where the idea that they have beards came from since the male dwarves presented in Tolkien's stories are all bearded.

[kamino_neko]

That does seem to suggest girls with beards while being ambiguous enough that it doesn't necessarily say so.

(Hmm. I think Gimli may have been quoting that when Aragorn made the beard-stroking motion. But, it's been a while since I've seen them, so I'm not sure...)

[dazzledfirestar]

Just vague enough to nitpick if one wants to.

Actually, yes. Gimli quotes that passage to Eowyn in the Two Towers during the trip to Helm's Deep.
