I suppose they would have to, to be indistinguishable from the men, but I suppose they could just wear fake beards when they travel. What I want to know is, Why?

It's said in The Peoples of Middle-earth that the Dwarf-women had beards.

More than likely they thought it was odd other folks females didn't have beards. They also had beards from the beginning of their life.

Sounds like life back in the hippie era (late 60s & early 70s). More than once, I saw someone who looked like a woman from the back, but when I went over to say hello, sometimes it turned out that "she" had a beard and sang bass. Happened more than once, and I had 20/20 vision.

ragamuffin how does one "sing bass"???
as for me i can't stand having hairy legs let alone... ewwww do you think tolkien made it up that dwarf women were virtually the same in voice and visage as dwarf men simply because he forgot all about them in the hobbit and LOTR and went oh s@#$! i better slip in an appendix about this... |

To Marcus and Luinilwen
Marcus, in that situation, when you realized the long-haired "beauty" was a guy, you usually tried to cover up your surprise by saying something like, "Yo, dude, you got a match?" and try to act like you knew all along.
To Luinilwen-- You might be right about Professor T throwing in the description of dwarf women at the last minute. You know, the old "absent-minded professor" syndrome. Re: "how does one "sing bass"???" It's just like singing mackerel, only deeper in pitch. |

High-altitude Ents
Bropous, that would explain a lot. The trees that kept jumping out in front of me when I was skiing at Breckinridge looked kind of HOURNISH, and I saw a lift operator with REALLY rough skin, who kept saying things like, "HOOM, hom, don't be hasty, now. There's plenty of room on this Manalla-relouris-sinbellasin... errr, this chairlift."

Well, if one were to classify a woman's "beard" as Chaucer did Allisoon's in the "Miller's Tale" from "Canterbury Tales,"....well.....
As for how does one sing bass, I prefer a lot of folks who sing bass...bassically out of earshot! Or love listening to someone sing tenor....tenor twelve miles away! Or, for that matter, the beautiful sound of someone singing solo....so lo I can't hear 'em!!!!! And yes, I forget where it is written in Tolkien's works....but Dwarf wimmen gots beards! And I highly doubt that Dwarf Men can't tell the difference!
