people like her in real life are not likeable, but they are necessary in society.

she is a well-written character in that sense and that her role in wot is important. i think getting her into power is the whole reason for the white tower split too - keeping siuan alive was obviously meant to have a good teacher who just went through the amyrlin rigmarole (as opposed to egwene having to learn all the bs by herself). if the tower was whole (and if siuan had died), egwene would never have become amyrlin. we have to assume that this is her purpose, whether or not she is a good person
I was wrong about Egwene.

The only mitigating factor was that she had already dumped Rand at that time

There was a nice beginning - "Cannoli: I was wrong about Egwene"...

A point to understand about Egwene as a ruler... (Incoming wall'o'text...

Sure, way to convince me. Compare her to two of the most despicable Anglophonic rulers in history

And she does not delegate to them. And no, sorting out rank among minions is not delegating power

Rand can certainly be domineering, but nowhere near as much as Egwene.

right, because she's threatened to hang people who disobey, or bodily thrown people out of her rooms
