Как это ни странно, первым об этом сказал Толкин: "For the Naugrim have beards from the beginning of their lives, _male and female alike_ [выделение моё, - К.]; nor indeed can their womenkind be discerned by those of other race, be it in feature or in gait or in voice, nor in any wise save this: that they go not to war, and seldom save at direst need issue from their deep bowers and halls." (HoME vol. XI, The later Quenta Silmarillion).
