Lyanna Stark and how "Game of Thrones" was almost a brilliant social critique

Pop Culture Sociologist

What does Lyanna Stark's portrayal on Game of Thrones have to do with women in the real world being written out of history? The show has been both praised and criticized for its portrayal of female characters, but could the difference in Lyanna's plot between George R. R. Martin's "Song of Ice and Fire" books and the TV show be the key to understanding women's stories in the world of Westeros? In the second episode of Pop Culture Sociologist you'll hear about the One Weird Trick the show could have used to bring the most subversive part of the books into the adaption.
