Description

In ancient Egypt women enjoyed a legal, social and sexual independence unrivalled by their Greek or Roman sisters, or in fact by most women until the late nineteenth century. This book presents a picture of daily life - marriage and the home, work and play, grooming and religion - viewed from a female perspective.

Table of contents

Images of women; married bliss; mistress of the house; work and play; good grooming; the royal harem; female kings; religious life and death.
