Fantasy Kriegerin

As distinguished from historical reenactment, the fantasy genre lacks any gender requirements for assuming a certain role—quite the opposite is the case: fantasy’s very strengths and advantages lie in diversity and the depiction of alternative models for society. So perhaps that’s why skillful female warriors are popular characters in a lot of fantasy narratives—be it in movies, novels, videogames or LARP—with hundreds of tales telling of Viking shield maidens, Valkyries, Amazons, Joan of Arc, and other fighting women the world over. Time and again, these women have been depicted in movies, TV shows, novels, and LARP.

Compelling female warriors vs. outdated clichés

Female warriors combine attributes of femininity with traits commonly deemed as “male”––strength, brutishness, and aggression, for instance—thus shattering traditional gender stereotypes that still mark our modern society, and creating strong role models for a newly emancipated culture. Because there have always been female human warriors, even from the beginning of human history, in our world today—contrary to simply being a figment of modern fiction—they are actually experiencing a renaissance.

While every fantasy world has its very own take on female warriors, certain principles apply to almost every universe. Consequently, these principles are considered either useful stereotypes for the depiction of a female warrior or outdated relics of the male-dominated fantasy genre of previous centuries.

What makes a compelling costume for a female warrior?

Close examination of existing movies and videogames quickly reveals disparities in the clothing and armor of male and female warriors. While male warriors usually are dressed in garb and accessories that jibe with historical sources, their female counterparts wear revealing dresses or “bikini mail” that rarely covers more than their nipples or pubic region. This is often combined with high heels, in which even proficient women can hardly run, let alone fight. Although these depictions obviously lack common-sense logic, they are quite pervasive, leading girls and women astray when assembling their warrior’s outfit, even though the same standards apply for male and female warriors alike:

Female warriors—no less than male ones—need to protect their bodies from harm by enemy attacks. This requirement demands the same kind of comfortable, sturdy, and expedient clothing and armor afforded to their male counterparts. Only then will a female warrior become believable and truly be taken seriously as an opponent.

  • Skjoldehamn Gugel Bjorn Wolle - Braun

    The Skjoldehamn Cowl was discovered in a pagan grave from the first half of the 11th century. This is one of the first examples of the headgear "Gugel" itself.

    The hood has a basic square shape, characteristically the wide brim ends with a corner on the chest.

    The grave find from Skjoldehamn raised many questions since its recovery in 1936 and still occupies today. According to current research, the dating of the pagan grave in the marshland is the first half of the 11th century. The hood of the gugel from Skjoldehamn has a simple square basic shape and a very wide brim, which does not fall round, but with a corner on the chest. This gugel is also a very early example of the type of headgear that became a ubiquitous garment in Europe during the Middle Ages.

    In the course of research, attempts were made to assign the garment to a gender and cultural group. For this purpose, not only the DNA of the buried person was examined more closely, but also the additional finds. The enclosed trousers determined the theory of the researchers that the person must have been male. DNA examination in 1999 showed no Y chromosome present in the bones, which supported the theory that it had to be a woman instead. However, this methodology is considered outdated.

    The question of culture points to Norway. This is assumed by ornamentation and morphological features, which suggest that the buried person was a Sami tribal member. Further research is needed, as some key evidence for these hypotheses is still lacking. More modern DNA analysis and research into the history of the fashions of the various Sami groups will shed light on this.
