New Spring

Practice: The Novice quarters...held under a hundred. Practice: "Once half the girls who were entered in the novice book would have been tested for the ring; fewer than twenty of the current Novices would be allowed to. The Human Heart: "Elaida had never deferred to anyone but bowed her head" - To Meilyn Surprises: "Setsuko...could never reach the shawl". Surprises: Lisandre would be allowed to test for Accepted. Surprises: "Her stay in the Tower would be over in a matter of months" - Setsuko. Just Before Dawn: Strangely, though Rafela had reached the shawl a year before Leane, she only sighed. Just before Dawn: Kairen and Cabriana clearly took their lead from Anaiya. Just before the Dawn :"That explained Elaida's deference to Meilyn and Rafela yielding to Leane. Entering Home: ...almost as meekly, "If you will come with me please" Cabriana to Siuan and Moiraine Entering Home: "Plainly she was the low woman among the three" - Cabraina vs Kairen and Anaiya Entering Home: "Explained Elaida's deference to Meilyn and Rafela yielding to Leanne" Entering Home: "Cabriana was not very strong at all". Entering Home: "We're not so far from the top already, in another five years we'll be close" Siuan to Moiraine. Entering Home: "Her strength ... was nearly as great as her or Siuan's would be eventually" - Moiraine on Cetalia. Entering Home: "Anaiya was nearly as strong in the power as Cetalia" "If she did not have to stand for Anaiya, surely she did not have to obey her, unless Anaiya was simply being courteous" - Moiraine. Changes: "Only a handful of sisters stand so high above us" Moiraine about Cetalia. Changes: "Elaida...stood as high as they would one day" - Moiraine. Changes: "Lelaine...stood as high as Elaida". Changes: She was not one of those Moiraine needed to defer to - about Ryma. Changes: "Of course, she was not very strong in the power" - about Adine. Changes: "Without the Keeper's stole, Duhara would have had to jump when she snapped her fingers, should she have chosen to" - Moiraine. Changes: About twenty novices too weak were put out - (out of about one hundred present). An Arrival: "Larelle was as strong as Merean, requiring deference". An Arrival: "Enough weaker than they to accept being cut off" - Felaana vs Larelle and Merean An Arrival: "No one has come to the White Tower in a thousand years who could match me, no one to match Meilyn or Kerene in almost six hundred". - Cadsuane's PoV. Kerene and Meilyn are both dead. An Arrival: "..the next five. Five once this child and the Sanche girl reach their potential." - About Moiraine A Narrow Passage: "Another three or four years would pass before Siuan gained enough strength to tell Cetalia she was leaving" Legends Version: "Cetalia nearly equalled Merean in the power"

The Eye of the World

Listen to the Wind: "With training you might become even more powerful than Egwene and I believe she can become one of the most powerful Aes Sedai we have seen in centuries" - Moiraine to Nynaeve

The Great Hunt

Summoned: "Elayne could well be the most powerful Aes Sedai in a thousand years" - Siuan. Summoned: "Egwene is at least as strong as Elayne...Nynaeve...Once she gains conscious control of what she does now...she will be as strong as any in Tar Valon. With training she will shine like a bonfire beside the candles of Elayne and Egwene" - Moiraine to Siuan. To the White Tower: "You will make forty and no more than eight or nine will be raised to Accepted" - Sheriam to Egwene on novice numbers. On the Scent: "I can think of few women strong enough...The Amyrlin, Moiraine and Elaida. Perhaps one or two others and three still in training." - Verin. Nynaeve is one of these. It is unclear if the other two are Theodrin and Faolain or Egwene and Elayne. Damane: "Two run loose, one of them more powerful by far than I had been led to believe" - Suroth about Elayne and Nynaeve. Damane: "You may be as strong as a full sister when you are angry..." - Elayne to Nynaeve.

The Dragon Reborn

Punishment: "You have the potential to be stronger than any Aes Sedai in a thousand years" Siuan to Egwene. The Bite of the Thorns:: "Verin says you are already as strong as any woman in the Tower" Siuan to Nynaeve. The Bite of the Thorn: "Each of you is more than a match for Liandrin in sheer power and she is the strongest of them" Siuan to Egwene and Nynaeve. The Red Sister: "She or Elayne or Nynaeve could destroy Elaida where she sat. If they caught Elaida by surprise at least" - Egwene. Healing: "She paused as if she had just heard her own words - that she could channel half of what ten full Aes Sedai did with a sa'angreal - Nynaeve.

The Shadow Rising

Questions: "Nynaeve was strong in the power, stronger than Egwene". Questions: "Mazrim Taim...can channel with incredible strength, perhaps as much as Rand al Thor if reports can be believed" - Joiya. Doorways: "She was stronger than Moiraine, potentially at least". Doorways: "There were things Elayne could do, and the other two, that the Aes Sedai could not". Playing with Fire: "I am stronger than Moiraine, she would be whimpering...or insensible if she tried to hold as much as I hold now" - Egwene. Playing with Fire: "She had assumed they were as strong as he...She and Elayne would be among the strongest Aes Sedai, if not the strongest in a thousand years...perhaps Nynaeve could come close" - Egwene. Beyond the Stone: "She can be as strong as Egwene" - Moiraine on Aviendha. Sharp lessons: "You are far stronger than I" - Amys to Egwene. Veils: "You might become something one day...You are too strong to waste... I would love to see Rhavin's eyes the day he meets you unblocked" Moghedien to Nynaeve.

The Fires of Heaven

Prologue: "Could he have overwhelmed you...not that he himself could not, or Sammael" -Rhavin to Lanfear, about Rand. Among the Wise Ones: "Could channel less than most Novices" about Sorilea. The Practice of Diffidence: "Sheriam is highest among us". Ripped Away: The amount of saidar that Nynaeve had drawn into herself was amazing... what Elayne could add would not make a difference. News Comes to Cairhein: "I am as strong as Egwene" - Aviendha.

Knife of Dreams

Relative strengths

Information on the strength of many of the women has been given, generally in relation to other women, so a picture of the relative strengths can be built up. Others are just reffered to as being of a particular sort of strenght, such as "quite strong, not weak or middling". A third type of information comes from people's thoughts on how much they should defer. Finally, people are reffered to as being strong enough to do certain things, most notably Travel. From all this, it is possible to work out relative strength for many, though several groups are not connected

Those on the same line are of aproximately equal strength. Some are estimates. Much is guess work The women are Aes Sedai unless stated.

CoT What the Wise Ones Know "I'm supposed to travel to Tear today" Sumeko - Does not specifically say she will use the gateway, but it can be inferred

CoT What the Wise Ones Know "Sabeine Ocalin and Julanye Fote were Kinswomen who could Travel"

CoT A Bargain "Until Reanne returned there were seven of the kin with sufficient strength to make a gateway, but two of those could not make one large enough for a horse cart" Kirstian, Garenia and Sumeko are three of those seven. Sumeko and the other four are weaker than Kirstian as they were not in the weather circle

PoD The Extra Bit Seaine's PoV "Zerah was weaker in any case."

WH A plan Suceeds - Eldrith stood highest amongst them. On Chesmal, Eldrith, Asne and Temaile - possibly refers to stature in BA, but unlikely as it also states "Chesmal...had begun taking only cursory notice of that" - not likely for BA hierachy

A Brown sister named Verin had told her there was hardly any need for the tower to hold her until she learned to handle her tiny ability safely" PoD Changes Very weak... negligible

Travelling

The Windfinders are all strong enough to Travel, however Elayne judges them as standing "not low, but not high" - CoS Unweaving. Only Eight of the Kin can Travel out of 147 - PoD Threads. The majority of the Kin, however were put out for being weak, contrary to this, we see None of the Knitting circle were weak - PoD Crimsonthorn. There are eleven surviving members of the knitting circle (Chilares, Reanne, Famelle, Sumuko, Tamarla, Ivara, Ieine, Eldase, Demara, Kirstian, Sibella). Two at least, Reanne and Sumuko can Travel and at least three none Knitting circle members (Garenia, Julanya and Sabeine), so it seems that at least six of the knitting circle are not strong enough to Travel, yet still considered not weak. However, "several" can Travel. Julanya and Sabeine are strong enough to Travel, but not close to strong enough to be part of the Weather Circle
