Women in Beowulf are not insignificant excluded figures, nor is their role limited in the poems. Sometimes they are peace weavers, hostesses, cup bearers, etc. They also have some influence on politics and take their own decisions which concern the fate of a kingdom. They can be independent like Grendel’s mother, evil like Thyrth, gracious like Wealhtheow or s, but they are all powerful queens, mothers or wives.
