Abstract
Abstract In the medieval Icelandic family sagas, women as well as men gained and bestowed honor by performing verbally. While men’s performances took place in the official, public realm, women promoted and defended the honor of the household in the domestic, private realm. With the introduction of writing, the boundary between public and private was more strictly enforced, and women’s participation in the honor system became more restricted.
