Powerful women don’t fare well in histories when looked at through the lens of a patriarchal society. It speaks volumes that Visenya Targaryen is still respected by the Maesters as both a Warrior and a Queen and not dismissed because she’s “on her moonblood.” The Conquest was not a solo project, yet her brother got the credit in the stories while his sisters got hills in Kings Landing named after them.
