Perspective: 'Game of Thrones' is full of heroines. But is the series actually feminist?
And that’s why the episodes that feel paradigm-shifting are those that show women claiming power that doesn’t look like men’s.
So I wasn’t disappointed that Arya triumphed — but I was disappointed that physical violence was the only type of female power we saw succeed. Last week, “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms” asked over and over whether women and girls were up for the coming battle: Sansa and Daenerys discussed the “damn good job” they were doing as female leaders, Arya requested a weapon, a young girl told Ser Davos she wanted to fight. This episode seemed to answer that question: yes, but only with a blade.
Yes, these are only anonymous women and not main characters. But in a battle for the survival of all humankind, the show presents anonymous men fighting for humanity. Its anonymous women only cower, silently, waiting.But I still think it’s possible for the show to redeem its feminism — and Sansa is at the center of it. Of all the female characters dismissed in this episode, Sansa’s disempowerment stung the most.
