	The article deals with the topic of gender roles (de jure and de facto) and their manifestations in Norse literature. The author claims that, despite the prevailing one-sex social system, the role of each gender was a matter of social status rather than biological sex. Clover also shows how transition from one gender role to another is possible, using examples from Egil’s Saga, among others. In his old age Egil seems to acquire features that are traditionally assigned to women and thus belong to the sphere of women (innan stokks).
