Women in Old Norse Society places particular emphasis on changing sexual mores and the impact of Christianity as imposed by the clergy and Norwegian kings. It also demonstrates the vital role women played in economic production. 606 $aWomen$xHistory$yMiddle Ages, 500-1500 606 $aWomen$zNorway$xHistory 606 $aWomen$zIceland$xHistory 606 $aOld Norse literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aWomen in literature 615 0$aWomen$xHistory 615 0$aWomen$xHistory. 615 0$aWomen$xHistory. 615 0$aOld Norse literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aWomen in literature. 676 $a305.4/09/02 700 $aJochens$b Jenny$f1928-$0562488 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784611603321 996 $aWomen in Old Norse society$9947326 997 $aUNINA
