The female characters in WoT are very authoritative. Are they based on real-life personalities, or is this how you imagine that these women have to act in these situations?
All my life, I was always surrounded by strong women who “ate” the weak men, and so only the strong men survived in my family. My grandfather asked me a question: which is more fun: hunting rabbits or leopards? Otherwise, I always paid close attention to the women around me, and I observed how they “work”. I always took care to portray them as accurately as possible, or at least that’s how I think. This method was so successful—at least based on feedback—that some female readers believed that Robert Jordan was a pen name for a female author.
