River-woman

The River-woman is a debated subject of J.R.R. Tolkien's world, mentioned once in The Fellowship of the Ring and The Adventures of Tom Bombadil. It is speculated that the River-woman is a name for a single character of Goldberry's mother, or a name of an unspecified "nature spirit" or "magical being" among the Forest-folk in the Old Forest.
