We pay tribute to the women of Westeros

The women are just as strong as the men on HBO's hit medieval drama, "Game of Thrones." Heck, in some cases, the women are even stronger.

While the men wage war and eye the throne, it is the women who protect their families, offer supportive shoulders -- and beds -- take lives and limbs, and work stealthily but mightily. In time for the highly anticipated Season 2 finale, we pay tribute to the women who make us cringe, cheer and never miss an episode.
