Women in Ancient Egypt by Robins, Gay
Second Printing
Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1996. Second Printing. Soft Cover. Near Fine/No Jacket. Photographs. An idealized version of women appears everywhere in the art of ancient Egypt, but the true nature of these women's lives has long remained hidden. This book cuts through the obscurity of the ages to show us what the archaeological riches of Egypt really say about how these women lived, both in the public eye and within the family. Here we see the everyday lives of women in the economic, legal, and domestic sphere from the Early Dynastic Period almost 5,000 years ago to the conquest of Alexander in 332 B.C. Within this kingdom ruled and run by men, women could still wield influence indirectly - and in some cases directly, when a woman took the position of "king". The exceptional few who assumed real power appear here in colorful detail, alongside their more traditional counterparts. 205 pages, references and an index. The bottom front corner is bent. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
