==Annotation== 
Thomas looks at the consistent role of women throughout saga literature. He focuses on autonomus female characters specifically citing ''Njáls saga'', ''Laxdæla saga'', ''Gísla saga'', and ''Hrafnkels saga''. He notes women‘s role in their families and the home as their domain. Thomas also discusses women‘s roles as literary tools, including the instances where they are instrumental in feuds by encouraging revenge. He claims that women in sagas have conflicting personalities due to the authors‘ view of women and the desire to create a captivating story.
