Female power dynamics of Westeros


"it’s clear these ladies collectively have just as much to say about power as do the bickering boys they're orbiting" elle.com

Born into it an making it count 



Margaery Tyrell –

She has the boy king totally fascinated by her. First she had his uncle ( her brothers gay lover) in her sights. There is no shame in her game

CATELYN STARK, LADY OF WINTERFELL
Road block = going behind son’s back to release enemy = branded traitress  by son’s followers => cunning? Or deceit ?

MELISANDRE, PRIESTESS OF R'HLLOR


She scares me! knows that sometimes you just have to let people think they have all the power in order to be the one who's really in control.

CERSEI LANNISTER, QUEEN REGENT

Cold bitch = tormented by her insecure sadist of a son = someone you want in your corner 

DAENERYS TARGARYEN, THE LAST TARGARYEN

A misdealt lot doesn't mean a thing if you know that your power – she seems whiny until she dragon surprises yo a$$




Arya stark – typical annoying little sister with luck on her side
Yara Greyjoy – I should like her but I don’t
Brienne of Tarth – you just know she is going to be taken advantage of the poor great dane


From the gutter to the table of kings

SHAE, ROYAL HANDMAIDE

She a prostitute who is astute and intelligent with a strong sense of self and has a thing for dwarfs




Osha – loyal and direct
Ros – local easy lay becoming future power broker using the desires of the flesh paid for

Ygritte – she just annoys me (wildling woman)
