What if the Vikings weren't just warriors ?
Behind the helmets, the longships, and the legends, stand powerful, free, and influential women. Too often overshadowed by their male counterparts, Viking women nonetheless played a central role in Scandinavian society: as heads of households, merchants, artisans, priestesses... and sometimes even warriors.
In WOMEN IN THE VIKING AGE, discover these remarkable figures, navigating between history and mythology. From the farm to the sea, from the hearth to the battlefield, they left a mark on their time far deeper than traditional accounts would have us believe.
This accessible and captivating book finally gives a voice to these forgotten women, through rigorous research, vivid storytelling, and inspiring portraits.
A powerful tribute to those who shaped the Viking world-whether in the shadows or in the spotlight.
A must-read for anyone passionate about history, Nordic culture, or simply extraordinary lives.
