Women in Ancient Egypt Book

The role of women in history has not always been given the attention it deserves. This series explores the contributions women have made throughout time as well as their impact today. Two earlier titles looked at the everyday life of women in the 19th century. Now the series peers deep into the ancient past of bygone civilizations to show us how women spent their lives within their families as mothers, daughters, and sisters and also in positions of responsibility as entertainers, managers, artists, priestesses, and royalty.

Examines the conditions of women in ancient Egyptian society, discussing their positions in the home, in religion, as workers, and as members of royal families.
