She was willing to die to protect Rand as early as Book 1, risked being destroyed in T'A'R to gather information in other books and was willing to die again for the cause of uniting the Tower in the last three books.
As much as I like Egwene, I think what makes her so powerful is not bravery as much as her sense of invulnerability. Egwene doesn't believe she can be harmed or killed, and she's ignorant of the true danger she's in. That's why she's always the one to get collared, hit on the head with a rock, half-killed by Lanfear, captured etc. She's very bad at assessing danger, so she rushes in where angels fear to tread. Luckily she's very powerful as a channeler, or I think she'd be roadkill by now.

Who is the bravest WOT character -- a soldier willing to sacrifice the most for their own cause?

I'd say there are only two serious candidates, and one clear winner

Occasionally. At least I didn't dedicate my life to achieving mediocrity, Hidious.

Can totally get behind Tuon for that scene. Bornhold's a boring fanatic, though. *NM*

The thing is, most of the people I try to think of didn't really have a 'cause' ...

That's just it. That's really the Dragon Reborn myth in a nutshell, really.

I changed my mind - Tigraine Mantear is the bravest character I can think of.

Tamra. Her speech after Gitara Moroso's death in NS was heartbreaking.
