The nuances in the Prime Video adaptation make it a welcome type of representation in fantasy.
Fantasy stories traditionally center around men who become heroes and save a woman they fall in love with. Recently, the more popular fantasy stories have reversed gender roles, giving the women characters far more agency in their society. Game of Thrones had characters like Daenerys and Sansa , along with many other strong women, but their agency revolved around how they manipulated men who always held more power.
Channeling Is Just One Way Women Hold Power in 'The Wheel of Time' Using the One Power in the current age is a right reserved only for women. Both men and women can channel, but the arrogance of men 3000 years before exposed the One Power to the Dark One, who corrupted it for any future man who can channel. Men were forbidden to channel after this, which put women in a far more powerful position in society.
But Liandrin is not the only woman serving the Dark One, though. Among the newly-revealed members of the Forsaken is Lanfear , a sadistic, cunning woman who was imprisoned for siding with evil three thousand years ago. She was one of the most powerful channelers alive because she was channeling the darkness in the One Power as well as the light, and she takes lives as easily as she breathes.
Season 2 has brought glimpses of the Aiel culture from the distant Three-fold Land, where all their people, especially women, become hand-to-hand combat experts. The first example is in a Season 1 flashback that depicts the moment when Rand’s mother gives birth. She is literally in labor while one soldier after another unsuccessfully attempts to take her out, but that doesn’t stop her from spinning circles around them.
