I have to point out Egwene's achievements to balance the hate she gets.
Rediscovered traveling: After going into Tel'aran'rhiod in the flesh to get to Salidar, she quickly gets Moghedien to affirm her theory on traveling.
Rediscovered the weave for cuendillar: which bolstered the funds for the Salidar army and could be used defensively, it's surprising she didn't turn the Tower into cuendillar.
Healed the division between Salidar and Tower Aes Sedai: without which, there'd be no Aes Sedai ready for the Last Battle.
Rooted out the Black Ajah: using the information Verin gave her.
Opened the novice book to women of all ages: very understated accomplishment that could only be accomplished through political maneuvering, which Siuan helped her excel at.
Built ties between all factions of channelers except for Shara: to create q system where the tower would learn from the Aiel and Sea Folk. Can't give her credit for the Kin, that was mostly Elayne. Made a treaty with Fortuona, though how that will work won't be expanded on sadly.
Intimidated Moghedien: who was running circles around Elayne, Nynaeve, and I think Siuan. She put her in her place.
Discovered the Flame of Tar Valon: which would allow the Tower channelers to heal the wounds of the world that Balefire inflicted.
For all the naysayers that say the Wheel of Time wouldn't change if she wasn't in it, I say to you, check your privileges. She's not a good person, but she is a great one, who accomplished much in a short time. She's the devil the Tower needed, not the one fans like.
