In our seminar "Introduction to American Literature and Culture" we were asked to apply a theory of cultural studies to a book, film or TV-show for last week and write an explaining paragraph about our chosen subject. I decided to focus on the representation of different forms feminism in the world of "A Song of Ice And Fire". After taking a closer look at the various female characters and their cultures in the story, I came to the following conclusion: The spearwives of the free volk represent liberal feminism, the sand snakes and many other of the women in Dorne, radical feminism, Cercei Lannister and with her quite a few other Westerosi women, socialist feminism. Equality and opportunity for women is what liberal feminists stress, superiority of the female what radical feminists do. The socialist feminism however points to, tries to explain, and criticizes the interconnections between class and gender in society.
