Women in the saga are very powerful, they control their households. They have control over most of the things including their servants, "I'm Njal's wife, ' she said, 'and I have no less authority in hiring than he does."(pg 60) Many men don’t like women to have control, but in this saga they do, men even appreciate it. They have more knowledge than men in some areas, therefore in any case that women demonstrate more knowledge, men get there help, or women just do those things on their own.
Women didn’t like some relationships with some people, and they are able to do whatever is possible to destroy them. They are very resentful with other people’s actions and they usually don’t like to lose. They will give orders to anyone in order to seem more powerful, therefore, all the servants, and people that have less than them, do whatever that woman pleases.
