By exploring legislation on violence, sorcery, sexual morality, and theft, it considers whether women were seen as independent legal subjects or as extensions of their families. It identifies various gendered punishments and discriminatory treatments, revealing regional differences and the influence of European legal ideologies. It also uncovers an emphasis on individual culpability for crimes, reflecting a shift from collective to individual responsibility and women's increasing property rights. This comparative analysis offers a nuanced view of medieval Nordic law, highlighting the complex relationship between gender, law, and society during this transformative period. It explains how criminal law was influenced by canon law and German town law and offers new insights into the legal history of the Nordic region.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHelle Vogt ========== \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHelle Vogt is Professor in Legal History at University of Copenhagen, Denmark.\u003c\/p\u003e Mia Korpiola ============ \u003cp\u003eMia Korpiola (PhD 2004) is professor of legal history of the University of Turku.
