Check out "Ladgarda"

( Lathgertha by Morris Meredith Williams, 1913 on Wikipedia )

My viking pirate short story "Ladgarda"
is now up on Luna Station Quarterly.
A grand battle at sea, betrayal, and subterfuge.
The story is based on a Danish legend of a viking shieldmaiden and onetime wife of famous viking Ragnar Lodbrok.

For any women speculative fiction writers, Luna Station Quarterly is a great place to showcase your work.

    How exciting! I especially feeling Vikings today after having watched How To Train Your Dragon again yesterday. =) And that's such a neat drawing!

    I'd never heard the term "shield maiden" before. But there she is. Glad to see that you have a story in Luna Station Quarterly. Congratulations.
