Yeah, I thought about that... but there's so much more to it than the society. Like you said, every female character seems to be over-the-top.

Ursula K. LeGuin's Earthsea Trilogy (and the follow-up, Tehanu or whatever it was called) was set in a similar medievil society. But the women still had depth and character. And they certainly had more concerns than how to bag a man or look pretty.
