Maisie Williams has promised the much-awaited finale of Game of Thrones will be “incredible” for women. The 21-year-old actress, who plays Arya Stark in the hit series, said as the show progressed, the female characters have grown from strength-to-strength and staked their claim to positions of power.

“For me, Game of Thrones is a medieval world in which women don’t have a lot of rights yet they still prevail. But I do think that as the seasons have gone on, it’s become more and more amazing for women. And this final season is going to be incredible. It just feels great, being on set with all these girls. They’re all ruling, you know, they’re all back on top — it’s pretty impressive,” Williams told Britain’s Elle magazine.

While she is forlorn about wrapping GoT, Maisie is excited about the future. “I’m still young but I could play a 21-year-old with their own family — getting offered that sort of part is very intriguing,” she said.
