Combines evidence from Icelandic sagas, law codes, poems, runic inscriptions and archaeology to provide and interpret direct evidence about Viking Age and Norse women, their status, roles in religion, place in law, and agency within a strongly male dominated society.
This edited volume brings together an international group of scholars to address the lives, roles, myths, mythology, and lived experiences of Viking women as well as the impacts of change on women during the turbulent period of the Viking Age. Through interdisciplinary perspectives, this is a book dedicated to the lesserknown aspects of women’s lives as active members of society. It provides an innovative way of bringing together work from archaeological, anthropological, historical, and literary perspectives to address questions about women in trade, in war, in magic, in the household and activities that provided women with power and respect in their communities.
