I'm not a huge fan of Asha Greyjoy (renamed Yara in Game of Thrones), Ygritte, or Arianne Martell (yet to be seen on the show), but that's a personal preference, not a feminist position. Martin has created some truly great and complicated female characters: Daenerys Targaryen, Arya Stark, Brienne of Tarth, Catelyn Stark, Melisandre of Asshai, Sansa Stark, and Margaery Tyrell are fully rendered human beings, and all of them (except for poor, luckless Sansa) are also incredibly cool. Martin book series A Song of Ice and Fire - the source material for HBO's Game of Thrones, about a fantastical, brutal world in which wannabe kings and queens are at constant war - is a mixed bag.
