How Game Of Thrones Changed My Feminism- Emilia Clarke And Sophie Turner
Stars from the popular TV series Games Of Thrones, Emilia Clarke and Sophie Turner who played Daenerys Targaryen and Sansa Stark, respectively in celebration of the International Women’s Day went both penned thoughtful, intelligent essays about their feminism online.

It made me think: why such a taboo?”
