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. 

Game of Thrones ruled pop culture with its fiercely feminist characters. Here are the ones who top the list.

Top Lessons From Arya Stark For Hustlers Chasing Success 

Arya Stark of Winterfell was hustler-in-chief among the Westeros top-shots playing the Game of Thrones. If you are hustling for a purpose or making your dreams come true, don’t miss Arya Stark’s wisdom in the slides ahead. 


Consistently working on your skills is a key to be the best fighter known to humankind. 



From Ned Stark to Syrio Forel to the Faceless Man of Bravos, once Arya found men of deep passion, she chose to have deep faith in them as her mentor. 



You should know a ‘killer’ when you see one 


You should be able to spot the people of ‘killer’ instinct, if you are to make your hustle a success. Just like Arya told Jon at seeing Daenerys in the King’s Landing: “I know a killer when I see one.” 



Your purpose should top the list of your priorities 


Arya didn’t choose to go with Brienne nor she chose to be with Gendry. Winterfell topped her priorities, always. 



Setbacks make you stronger, if you’re focused on your purpose 


Arya’s time in Bravos had its share of setbacks but her will to put the fight for Stark’s Westerosi revival kept her focused. 

You emerge as toast of the town at great personal cost 


Arya became ‘the hero of Winterfell’ after losing the life she knew and almost everyone she held dear. 

If you are hustling for a purpose or making your dreams come true, don’t miss Arya Stark’s wisdom in the slides ahead.

8 Ways to Make Your House Monsoon-Ready 

Inspect the roof, walls and windows for cracks or gaps. 

Check drainage before it becomes a problem. It is vital to prevent waterlogging during heavy rains. 

It’s a must to check for any exposed wires as contact of water with electrical wiring, can cause short circuits, shocks, and even ignite a fire. 

Protect furniture as wood tends to absorb moisture and swell during the rainy season. It is recommended that you get it a protective coating of wax or varnish. 

This process is a must to prevent dampness and mould growth. Make sure all the space in the house is properly ventilated. 

Keep an emergency bag ready. It should have flashlights, batteries, a first aid kit, and a portable charger. 

Make sure doors and windows are properly sealed to prevent rainwater from entering the home. 

Regular cleaning is must to remove all dirt, and keep all the garbage outside as mould growth becomes a massive issue during rainy season.
