One historical fiction novel that brims with the strongest female protagonist
We've seen strong female protagonists in all walks of literature, but why not discover the strongest that historical fiction offers?
I’m currently childless, and whether it stays that way remains to be seen, even if I’m leaning toward the mindset of strong family units. Why? It’s one of many opportunities to tell the state to stick it. That, and a Viking funeral, something I learned about thanks to the great Jon Miltimore as being illegal in so many states.
Plus, because of my heritage, I’ve often been attracted to all things Germanic/Nordic/Scandinavian, however you wish to refer to them. Yes, I love the Elder Futhark, the old gods and goddesses, Yggdrasil, and then some. I even don’t mind some newer aspects like their rather capitalist and no-so-socialist Nordic Model, and if you want proof, just check out the following quote from Lars Rasmussen.
“I know that some people in the U.S. associate the Nordic model with some sort of socialism. Therefore, I would like to make one thing clear. Denmark is far from a socialist planned economy. Denmark is a market economy.”
Personally, I wish Lars would have name-dropped and completely called out the far-Left, which seems to be all over the place here in the States. Still, that 2015 quote was nothing short of priceless. Anyway, I’ve deviated off-topic for far too long, and I’m here to talk about a book that epitomizes positive feminism if that’s even the correct word for it.
Maybe libertarian feminism is a more appropriate phrase. And if you want a taste of libertarian feminism, whether that was author Tracy Lawson’s purpose or not, Answering Liberty’s Call has what you’re looking for.
