George R.R. Martin's acclaimed seven-book fantasy series A Song of
Ice and Fire is unique for its strong and multi-faceted female
protagonists, from teen queen Daenerys, scheming Queen Cersei,
child avenger Arya, knight Brienne, Red Witch Melisandre, and many
more. The Game of Thrones universe challenges, exploits, yet also
changes how we think of women and gender, not only in fantasy, but
in Western culture in general. Divided into three sections
addressing questions of adaptation from novel to television, female
characters, and politics and female audience engagement within the
GoT universe, the interdisciplinary and international lineup of
contributors analyze gender in relation to female characters and
topics such as genre, sex, violence, adaptation, as well as fan
reviews. The genre of fantasy was once considered a primarily male
territory with male heroes. Women of Ice and Fire shows how the GoT
universe challenges, exploits, and reimagines gender and why it
holds strong appeal to female readers, audiences, and online
participants.
