Synopsis
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. They could own and trade in property, work outside the home, marry foreigners and live alone without the protection of a male guardian. Some of them even rose to rule Egypt as 'female kings'. Joyce Tyldesley's vivid history of how women lived in ancient Egypt weaves a fascinating picture of daily life - marriage and the home, work and play, grooming and religion - viewed from a female perspective, in a work that is engaging, original and constantly surprising.

They do not patronise a newcommer to the subject and are argumentative and challenging. They are also extremely well-researched and contain a healthy section of refernces. This book is her first and is a very good introduction to the subject of Egyptology.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

There isn't a lot of hard evidence of how women lived their lives mainly due to the fact that women were uneducated and illiterate. Quite a lot of the information is guesswork but the author is rigorous in pointing this out and explaining why she has arrived at her conclusions. It does read a little dry in places, especially towards the end but at less than 300 pages isn't a massive read.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
