Listen "24: So You Want to Be a Viking Woman"
Episode Synopsis
Viking men have spent a millennium getting all the credit. What were the women doing?
We take a break from our usual northern news diet to meet Canadian author Heather Pringle, whose new book – The Northwomen: Untold Stories From the Other Half of the Viking World – uses archaeology, Icelandic sagas and even old cannabis seeds to tell us more about the power some Viking women held.
Spoiler alert: contains sorcery.
