Feminist Theories Applied to Game of Thrones (+Sansa Theory)
Channel: Gil Kidron
Date: 19/04/2019

In Game of Thrones season 8, as is in our real world, females who aspire for power face unique challenges: their male allies could become competitors, their ability to bear children are "weaponized", their skills are questioned and their legitimacy contested. In Game of Thrones season 8 episode 1, Cersei and Euron are frenemies, Daenerys and Jon could become competitors, and few take Sansa Stark seriously. Yara Greyjoy could be the exception. In Game of Thrones feminism could be on the rise,  but the Valyrian steel ceiling is still there.
