Abstract [en]
This essay discusses the roles of women from different perspectives during the Viking Age. It will show the strong and powerful women but also the unfortunate ones and women in their everyday life. The issue of the strong cementation of the Viking Age and the Viking age men and women that was made by the archeologists, the scientists and the writers in the 19th century will follow through this essay. The material used for this study is mainly literary sources that focus on the Viking age society. The geographic places, and the archaeological material that I focus on, is from East Blekinge, Köpingsvik on Öland and in Hedeby in Denmark/Germany.
