You can read the full article over at the Reading Eagle.

Buzzfeed Calls “Outlander” the Feminist “Game of Thrones”
In a fantastic new article, Buzzfeed’s Anne Helen Petersen presents Outlander as the feminist version of Game of Thrones, and calls out all of the reasons that men should be watching the show, too.
When asked whether Outlander is a feminist text, Gabaldon smartly explained that it depends on one’s definition of feminism: “[Outlander] is about a woman, who is quite confident in who she is as a woman, and that’s one definition of feminist — you take yourself at your own worth, and you demand that others take you at your own estimation.” And the guiding love story of the text is, in many ways, the story of a man becoming a feminist as well: Surrounded by patriarchy, Jamie (Sam Heughan) is nevertheless forced to “take [Claire] at her own estimation”; when they fall in love, it’s because both realize themselves as the other’s equal.
