Descriptionof Schwedens sagenhafte Frauen
Manufacturer

This book gathers stories of queens, saints, warrior women, and mysterious beings that have shaped the collective memory over the centuries. Drawing on historical sources, medieval chronicles, and traditional legends, it paints a fascinating portrait of women navigating the interplay of societal constraints, spiritual interpretation, and personal agency. Erik Gloßmann guides the reader through a world where history and storytelling are inextricably linkedranging from real-life figures like Queen Christina or Saint Bridget to legendary beings such as Norns, shield-maidens, and swan maidens. In doing so, the book reveals how female roles were reinterpreted across the agescaught between veneration, projection, and control. Far more than a mere collection of ancient tales, this work is a cultural-historical quest to uncover womens voices within a male-dominated traditionand an invitation to rediscover the past through the power of its storytelling.
