-Find one female warrior grave
-"Of course that means half the warriors in any given Nordic Kingdom was a female."
I don't think the author or anyone else was saying that female warriors never existed, because they clearly did, but that there was no female warrior CLASSES dedicated solely to female warriors in Nordic society, not one lick of evidence besides hearsay.
You may call female warriors individually "Shieldmaidens" if you like, but to say that they represented a class at all acknowledged by the Norse of the time is not in the least bit valid, let alone sensible. These myths(What they are until proven otherwise) often come coupled with the idea that Vikings were an entire culture based in Scandinavia, and all Scandinavians survived off of Viking raids, when the actual majority of Scandinavians were simply farmers.
