Description:... Why were Scandinavian women such active proponents to Christian conversion? A question which has found itself recurrent in conversion literature. This book is a preliminary investigation which explores women in Norse and Christian mythology highlighting their similarities and discussing the roles of Christian women and Norse pre-Christian women again highlighting similarities between the two in order to show that some outlying factor was responsible for women's decision to convert to Christianity.
