Abstract
[Spoiler alert] Despite Game of Thrones’ plethora of strong women who evolve as leaders, ultimately a male, not a female, ascends the Iron Throne. Does this choice mean that Game of Thrones is a patriarchal text? Or, does the plethora of powerful females constitute a feminist text? Through close analysis of Daenerys’ evolution, this thesis will help to answer these questions.
