Annoyed
“It is entirely unfair that our actions don’t even rate a mention,” Írimë said.

Findis shook her head. “I don’t mind that so much as the implication that we don’t exist. And I wasn’t even the one who went into exile.”

Írimë snorted. “Apparently, the only thing I managed to do was survive. Which in and of itself is rather remarkable. But nothing was mentioned of my deeds, or of your deeds in helping the Noldorin remnant thrive after the Darkening.” She sighed. “We’re women. Evidently, we don’t count.”

“We’ll just have to write our own histories to show otherwise.”

Down with the patriarchy! Excellent drabble.

Exactly. Thank you!

That's what women do - they write their own history, and very well, I might add.

And I don't blame the two of them in the least! They certainly deserved better press than they got! Heh!

[independence1776]

Yes, they do!
