Summary: Rhaenyra Targaryen is learning in real time how to win friends & influence people. Turns out, occupying the Iron Throne requires more than just serving face... it also means you have to serve your people. Rhaenyra is dealing with stabilizing her kingdom, fending off a bloodthirsty Daemon, trying (and failing) to appease Corlys, grieving her son, and everything else that is required of her. P.S she's now broke. On this episode of Femme & Furious, we're diving into the expectations placed on women in leadership, the idea of false prophets, and what happens when the realization of the crushing reality that you can't "have it all" sinks in.

Join the 2 Femme, 2 Furiouscommunity & cultural salon! We've got something for everyone! Help me take this podcast from a singular platform and turn it into a beautiful, feminist ecosystem filled with mutual support, nurturance, and growth!

Summary: If there's one thing HotD does well, it's center the women. Our two girlie pops, Alicent & Rhaenyra, are finally together again, and we need to make some space for the sexual tension and trauma that's about to enter the chat. This was a beautiful episode exploring grief and the consequences of war and power. It's an episode that explores 3 different women, all with the title Queen, who have varying degrees of power in a place literally called "King's Landing". As we sit with the heartbreaking aftermath of the Battle of the Gullet, the emotional fallout hits just as hard as the physical one. Meanwhile, Aemond and Daemon continue their testosterone-fueled race toward mutual destruction, and the Queens continue to prove they're the most compelling players on the board.

Summary: Welcome to Romantasy Summer here at Femme & Furious, where we are breaking down the first half of Spark of the Everflame by Penn Cole! This is a story about fate, prophecy, and a super badass woman named Diem Bellator. In this episode, we dive into conversations about race, gender, and class hindrances to Diem, as well as her growing resentment towards her mother, who has lied to Diem and has kept her (potentially) unnecessarily medicated. If you love chatting about helicopter moms, Christian nationalism, men and their role in contraception, and the camaraderie of women in impoverished areas, then join me as we begin to unravel the Kindred's Curse.
