But no living man am I! You look upon a woman. Éowyn I am, Éomund’s daughter. You stand between me and my lord and kin. Begone, if you be not deathless! For living or dark undead, I will smite you, if you touch him.’
Love this! Éowyn spends much of the novel feeling trapped. Love this moment of triumph for her. Reader anticipates almost certain death but everyone, Nazgûl included, have underestimated her.
