Description
Discover the lives of Viking women, revealed through runic inscriptions and behind the veil of myth. Judith Jesch's groundbreaking study sheds new light on the experiences of women in the Viking Age, from Scandinavia to Greenland and Russia.
Using a range of sources, including archaeology, literature and historical records, Jesch reconstructs the lives of Viking women, exploring their roles on farms, in trading centres, on expeditions and as settlers. This fresh perspective challenges traditional views of Viking society, revealing a more complex and nuanced picture of life in medieval Europe.
