All of the material present here is drawn from Women in Old Norse Society, by Jenny Jochens. Dr. Jochens draws her data from the Eddas, the Sagas, and contemporary laws. She takes an interdisciplinary approach and views all of this information through the lens of linguistics, history, and modern gender analysis. Together with her book Old Norse Images of Women, and Women in the Viking Age, by Judith Jesch, we now know quite a bit about what it was like to be a woman in the Viking Age.
On beauty, sex, sexuality, and Romance in Old Norse Society-2, by Cara Freyasdaughter. Revised Dec. 2014.
