Description:

"Vikings" cast members Katheryn Winnick and Alyssa Sutherland join leading experts in an investigation of the different roles women played within Norse society and they are surprised at what they discover. A cutting edge movement in the Viking research community is trying to discover how much autonomy and power women truly had during the Viking age. A warrior grave from the 10th century found near the Viking town of Birka offers some convincing evidence that shield maidens did exist. Not only could women in Viking society be warriors, but they also held important roles as the Lady of the Hall, as sorceresses and as weavers of the all-important ship sails. This is just the tip of the iceberg, as leading researchers work to prove that Viking women had rights with their society that did not exist elsewhere in Europe at the time. <43mn>
