What Was Life Really Like For Viking Women?

Viking women held significant roles in their society, despite having no legal rights and needing a male representative in legal matters. While men were often away on raids or trading voyages, women maintained control over the farms and households, managing supplies and daily life. Burial evidence, such as the Oseberg ship, suggests that some women held very high status, potentially as sorceresses or powerful leaders. In addition, historical sagas highlight their ability to seek divorce and their influential roles in society, demonstrating their strength and resilience. These accounts, along with discoveries like the Thing, an early form of parliament, reveal a society with evolving ideas about governance and women's roles.
