The old woman might tell a story about the founding of the Wall. It could be about how Brandon the Builder constructed the massive structure to keep out the threats from the North. The story would involve the magic and manpower that went into building such a colossal fortification, and perhaps some secrets or prophecies associated with it that only the old timers knew.
There's the story about the dragons in Essos. An old woman could have told tales of how the Targaryens first tamed the dragons in the ancient land of Valyria. This story would be filled with details of the powerful and magical bond between the dragonlords and their dragons, and how it all came to be, passing down through generations until Daenerys brought dragons back to Westeros.
The old woman's stories in Game of Thrones often carry hidden meanings and warnings. They can be a way of passing down history and lore within the world of the show. For example, some stories might hint at future events or explain the origin of certain creatures or phenomena.
In one fanfiction, Jon Snow didn't go to the Wall as in the original story. This small change had a huge impact. Since he didn't go to the Wall, he remained in Winterfell. His presence there influenced Ned Stark's decisions differently. Ned became more confident in his northern rule with Jon by his side. This led to different reactions from the Lannisters towards the North. They were more cautious in their attempts to undermine the Starks, which then affected the overall power struggle in Westeros.
One example could be the story of Cinderella. It's an old story that has been told in many different cultures and versions. It's about a young girl who is mistreated by her step - family but eventually finds happiness.
One example is 'Gone Girl'. In this story, the wife, Amy, discovers her husband's infidelity. She fakes her own death in an elaborate plan that involves leaving behind clues that make her husband the prime suspect in her murder. As the story unfolds, she manipulates the situation from the shadows, seeking revenge not just on her husband but also on the media and the public who quickly condemn him without knowing the truth.
There was a woman who had made great strides in her mental health. She had overcome depression through therapy and self - care. But then she lost her job unexpectedly.

Yes. Consider a woman who had been through a difficult divorce. In her new social circle, someone made a flippant comment about how divorced women are 'damaged goods'.

Her blog became a platform for other women in similar situations to share their experiences and support each other.
In some fairy tales, there are elements of this. For example, a prince might be magically turned into a woman. This transformation forces him to experience life as a female, facing different types of interactions with people, different power dynamics, and different expectations. He may then learn valuable lessons about gender equality and the value of seeing from another's perspective. It could also be a story where a girl is forced by her family to be a certain type of 'perfect woman' with strict rules on her appearance, behavior, and marriage prospects. She then has to struggle to break free from these forced ideals and find her own identity.
Sure. There's the story of Malala Yousafzai. She is a young Pakistani woman who fought for girls' education in her country, despite facing threats from the Taliban. She was shot but survived and continued her fight. Her story is one of courage and determination.
