I would like to write a novel about Vikings so I’ve jotted facts and ideas in a file. Today I borrowed The Real Valkyrie, the Hidden History of Viking Warrior Women by Nancy Marie Brown from the library.
I am considering writing a novel set in the age of Vikings. I have made notes about the era, possible plots and themes.
Today I borrowed The Real Valkyrie by Nancy Marie Brown – The Hidden History of Viking Warrrior Women from the library. It is inspired by DNA tests in 2017 “to the collective shock of many scholars that a Viking warrior in a high-status grave in Birka, Sweden was actually a woman.” I dipped into the book and look forward to reading more.
The author weaves facts together to reinvent her life and times , showing that Viking women had more power and agency than historians have imagined.
