LONGLISTED FOR THE 2020 CUNDILL HISTORY PRIZEValkyries: the female supernatural beings that choose who dies and who lives on the battlefield. They protect some, but guide spears, arrows and sword blades into the bodies of others. Viking myths about valkyries attempt to elevate the banality of war to make the pain and suffering, the lost limbs and deformities, the piles of lifeless bodies of young men, glorious and worthwhile. Rather than their death being futile, it is their destiny and good fortune, determined by divine beings. The women in these stories take full part in the power struggles and upheavals in their communities, for better or worse.Drawing on the latest historical and archaeological evidence, Valkyrie introduces readers to the dramatic and fascinating texts recorded in medieval Iceland, a culture able to imagine women in all kinds of roles carrying power, not just in this world, but pulling the strings in the otherworld, too. In the process, this fascinating book uncovers the reality behind the myths and legends to reveal the dynamic, diverse lives of Viking women.

Good Read but Lacked Depth
I enjoyed 'The Women of the Viking World' but felt some parts were a bit surface-level. It’s an interesting overview, but I was hoping for more detailed stories about individual women. Still, it's a great addition to my history collection!

Arrived Damaged, But Great Content
I was excited to read this book, but it arrived with a torn cover. Luckily, the content was still fantastic! I loved the stories about Viking women and their contributions. Just wish the packaging was better.

Empowering and Informative!
This book is a must-read! I found it so empowering to learn about the roles of women in Viking society. The illustrations and stories really brought history to life. I bought it for my daughter who's studying Norse mythology, and she loves it too!
