Daenerys Targaryen's slave Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Slavery aside, what opportunities are present for women in the Free Cities? And how does it compare to Westeros? Are they able to become independently wealthy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotting sea cow Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 In Volantis, some of the first elephants (merchant class) were women and they helped to put an end to the 'century of blood'. Also Vogarro's whore or the Widow of the Waterfront, a former slave is very rich and influent, enough that even high priest Benerro is a confident of hers. She is nevertheless not accepted inside the Black Walls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khal drogon Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Braavosi Courtesans are independent and Wealthy. It was said in cities like Myr there are women merchants from the merchant class. There are women who are artisans and craftspeople. In Volantis women could even become Triarchs. Though they start as slaves the red priestesses are among the most respected people in their society. Since Western Essos is much more developed than Westeros we can expect more non-noble women to become wealthy and independent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
