Here are 5 strong women of the 'GOT' universe and how exactly they've come to play a major role on the series.
PUBLISHED FEB 20, 2019

'Game of Thrones' has given us so many strong male characters that it's become hard to keep track of them, not that it really matters though, George R. R. Martin will still find a way to kill them off.

Which is why we focus today on some of the strong female characters who grace this show. Though they may not stay in an ideal world, some of the women of the 'Game of Thrones' seem to keep it together a hell of a lot better than their male counterparts.
