Discover ancient Egypt through a feminine lens. Beyond queens and goddesses, women as homemakers, craftswomen and priestesses also played an active role in shaping Pharaonic society, contributing to its domestic, religious, political and economic life.

The catalogue of the museum’s 100th temporary exhibition explores the diversity of the status, roles and experiences of women in Ancient Egypt, from the Predynastic period through to the Greco-Roman era.
Offering a fresh perspective, it sheds new light on this fascinating civilisation and highlights the many different ways in which women participated in and experienced ancient Egyptian society.

A reference work for anyone with an interest in history, archaeology and ancient Egypt.
