If you haven’t heard of Game of Thrones then you’ve probably been living under a rock. As one of the most popular tv shows, it has more than its fair share of strong female characters. The show has a large cast, yet all the characters are richly developed and fierce in their own right. From Daenerys- Mother of Dragons, to Arya to Lady Mormont to Cersei- these characters are strong yet flawed and even if we don’t agree with their actions, we can admire them for their drive.
