b"Join us for a chat with Dr. J\\xf3hanna Katr\\xedn Fri\\xf0riksd\\xf3ttir, author of Valkyrie: Women of the Viking World. We speak about Valkyries, shield-maidens, and famous women of Icelandic saga and legend. We also talk about the important contributions of Viking Age women to the success of medieval Scandinavian households, raiding parties, and armies. And since we're all medievalists, we inevitably get around to discussing the thrills and frustrations of working with medieval sources and the importance of interdisciplinary approaches to problem solving. We hope you enjoy.\\nClick here to pick up a copy of Valkyrie: Women of the Viking World.\\nMusic Credits\\nOpening song \\u2013\\xa0Icelandic Folk Music: Tr\\xf6llaslagur\\nOutro \\u2013\\xa0\\xd3lafur Liljur\\xf3s"
