The White-Luck Warrior / Women are very important to this series

Some else that occurred to me after re-reading TJE and WLW: women are going to play a very important role in the AA series.
I can predict what that role is. But we know that RSB is a deliberate, intentional writer who doesn't hesitate to trim the fat if it doesn't server a specific purpose, for example, the "deleted scenes" in Atrithau where Khellus recruits his first followers. So all of the material involving female characters(Esme, Mimara, Serwa, Psatma), mother-child relationships, pregnancy and birth (Mimara, Yatwer, Womb Plague) *must* be building toward something big.
I just can't imagine RSB doing it just because -- he's too good for that. And it might just explain why he's seemingly amused by the accusations of misogyny.
