Yara’s fierce assertion for Iron Islands remains one of the least highlighted GoT stories of feminist renaissance.
Lady Catlyn’s motherhood breached the forts of male dominance at each crucial moment of reckoning in the show.
She walks. She speaks. She doesn’t lift a finger but she rules. From confessing to Jamie Lannister that ‘it was me’ to showing Sansa a way to the North, Olenna ruled as the matriarch.
Sansa’s transition from a love-struck teenager to a purpose-finder woman who navigates a male-dominated North is one-of-its kind story of feminist assertions.
‘Khaleesi’ became shorthand for a strong, empowered woman but despite being the final villain of Game of Thrones, the fiercely assertive feminist elements of her journey are as remarkable.
Sir Brienne of Tarth, a knight of the seven kingdom, symbolised the last two words of the Tully’s — duty and honour. Brienne’s mark in the men’s world of westeros remains remarkable.
She didn’t care if Jon Snow was a bastard. She didn’t plan on knitting by fire when men planned for their fighting embankments during the Long Knight. She fought. She fought them all.
Arya tops the feminist chart for her unafraid consistency to be the best sword-wielder of Westeros.
