Shieldmaidens are not a myth! A recent archaeological discovery has shattered the stereotype of exclusively male Viking warriors sailing out to war while their long-suffering wives wait at home with baby Vikings. Plus, some other findings are challenging that whole “rape and pillage” thing, too.

Misleading headline: http://www.missedinhistory.com/blog/raining-on-your-parade-about-those-women-viking-warriors/ Of course: 'A discovery that six of thirteen Viking migrants were female challenges the assumption the the majority of early Viking migrants were men' doesn't roll as easily off the keyboard.
