Do dwarven women have beards?

[vindici]

Every "yes" said to a human is considered weakness. Well, what if dwarven women have even longer beards than us men? What if they have peculiar habits, somewhat similar to ones of a black widow? What if we defend the world of yours every bloody day hiding our women from the sunlight? Would you still be eager to meet them?I say dwarven women for dwarven men! Exclusively. And spies - for spice :evil:

I deal with the lack of dwarven women in the Witcher game with idea that they all stay in Mahakam. Dwarves in my feeling are apparently very patriarchal society with clearly prescribed gender roles. Only males venture to the outside world in business matters. To me dwarves seem much more misogynistic than humans. On the other hand, both races can't be compared to elves who seem to have gender equality.

IIRC it is right in spot, it has been some time since i read the whole novel, but i have the feeling that dwarven women are really never seen outside Mahakam.
