Since Mother Eve in the Garden long ago

I like Sansa, too. I've just started reading the series, and finished A Clash of Kings late last night.

I actually like the way in that book you got different takes on what it means to be female in that world, particularly the direct contrast between Cersei pointing out that a woman's best weapon lay between her legs (blah blah blah) and the scene between Sansa and Sandor when she sang the hymn and thus demonstrated that a woman has a powerful weapon of compassion (I loved that scene). Really enjoying all the female contrasts, but Sansa intrigues me most because of her age, the fact that she seems to be being used to subvert the traditional woman in chivalry milieu representation.
