Erendis (from The Mariner's Wife) may well be Tolkien's most interesting female character, though perhaps not the most sympathetic.
"Spirits in the shape of hawks and eagles flew ever to and from his halls; and their eyes could see to the depths of the seas, and pierce the hidden caverns beneath the world."

One thing I like about Aldarion and Erendis is that it feels so completely different from anything else Tolkien wrote (when I've described it to friends their reaction is "Really, Tolkien wrote that?"), and yet it still provides an interesting window into Tolkien's broader legendarium.
