Golden Swan is a persona development challenge for female personas. The purpose of Golden Swan is to foster knowledge of the lives of women in the Middle Ages and Renaissance.
A successful Golden Swan has acquired a level and depth of understanding of what a woman’s life was like in a given time period that may be unequalled even in the highest academic circles.
