Gunhild Haugnes

Gunhild is a native Norwegian who takes her name from two valkyries, Gun and Hild, goddesses of war in Norse mythology. She fights with all her might for what she believes in, but she feels greater empathy with the goddess Saga – a saga-writer or female Bard.

Gunhild has worked in journalism and as a disseminator of research  for many years, and in 2013 she achieved her lifelong dream when she  published her first historic fiction in Norwegian, ‘Døtre av Norge’, (Daughters of Norway’), the story of generations of women from one family over a hundred years, told against the background of the battle for female emancipation and equality.
