There are only three named female characters in this film, and all of them are defined by their relationships to men. Desdemona is the daughter of Brabantio and the wife of Othello, Emilia is the wife of Iago, and Bianca is Cassio's lover. Emilia and Desdemona are the only two who talk to each other, and they only ever talk about their husbands.
