An A Song of Ice and Fire re-read podcast focused on the female pov chapters. Here we’ll discuss what it means to be female in the World of Ice and Fire, what that does to the individual psyche, and how that translates across class, age, and geographical location. The read will consist first of the female point-of-view chapters of each book, rounding each book off with a critical look at one central male character’s chapters, with the hopes of also examining how the strict gender roles of their society effects even the most well-intentioned of characters.
