Not a feminist. I resent them for the most part. Just when I was at the age when men were about to open the door for me, feminist created men who belligerently forced me to open it myself. I was always the equal of men before feminists hammered away that I wasn’t. In college, I got better grades from female professors than males, so I thought, aha, male chauvinists! I was wrong: I had my husband read my essays and he strengthened my word choices and phrases, the A’s came rolling in from male professors too. I had a weak, conciliatory, apologetic way of expressing ideas that was unbearable. Among my proudest moments was the return of an essay that my husband said needed no changes. Assumptions are made; they aren’t always correct: In 2017, DNA tests revealed to the collective shock of many scholars that a Viking warrior in a high-status grave in Birka, Sweden was actually a woman. The Real Valkyrie weaves together archaeology, history, and literature to imagine her life and times, showing that Viking women had more power and agency than historians have imagined. www.amazon.com/Real-Valkyrie-Hidden-History-Warrior/dp/1250200849/ref=sw_img_bmx_gp_6iqx2z7n_8?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=1250200849&pd_rd_w=3vf9N&pf_rd_p=2afd2d47-a394-44e0-a894-571a931f3284&pf_rd_r=P5J77CZFJA53DM0CZ6VJ&pd_rd_r=b86d08da-1259-4d5f-8adf-66d2ad628091&pd_rd_wg=pB2wX
