Reviews
"Women in Ancient Egypt: Revisiting, Power, Agency, and Autonomy provides an indispensable collection of the freshest and most creative research on women in ancient Egypt from the dawn of the state to Late Antiquity, exploring the lives of women at various levels of society as well as ancient Egyptian perceptions of the female body. This volume aims to be a counter to previous studies which have downplayed, dismissed, or oversexualized the evidence of women in the archeological record, and it hits the mark."--Kara Cooney, UCLA "This book is the first comprehensive treatment of women in ancient Egypt in general, both royal and non-royal, from the Early Dynastic Period to Late Antiquity. The brilliant in-depth studies covering diverse sources--texts, pictures, and material culture--provide excellent insight into very different aspects of the lives of women, thus illuminating a broad thematic framework. The inclusion of considerations of power, economy, law, and health and the body is a welcome extension to the focus on the feminine world in ancient Egypt."--Angelika Lohwasser, University of Münster, Germany "If women are absent from the scholarship on ancient Egypt, it is not because they are absent from the sources. The stunning new research gathered here by Mariam Ayad demonstrates not only women's presence, but their power, diversity, and importance. Egyptology takes a huge step forward with topics ranging from the authority of royal women to incantations to stop bleeding after miscarriage."--Ann Braude, Harvard Divinity School "Superb. A range of fascinating, challenging papers. Highly recommended!"--Campbell Price, Manchester Museum, University of Manchester "[A]bounds with many illustrations and tables and utilizes a dizzying array of evidence, including tomb art, marriage documents, family contracts, gynecological papyri, furniture legs, graffiti, and tattooed corpses. . . . Recommended.

Synopsis
Cutting-edge research by twenty-four international scholars on female power, agency, health, and literacy in ancient Egypt There has been considerable scholarship in the last fifty years on the role of ancient Egyptian women in society. With their ability to work outside the home, inherit and dispense of property, initiate divorce, testify in court, and serve in local government, Egyptian women exercised more legal rights and economic independence than their counterparts throughout antiquity. Yet, their agency and autonomy are often downplayed, undermined, or outright ignored. In Women in Ancient Egypt twenty-four international scholars offer a corrective to this view by presenting the latest cutting-edge research on women and gender in ancient Egypt. Covering the entirety of Egyptian history, from earliest times to Late Antiquity, this volume commences with a thorough study of the earliest written evidence of Egyptian women, both royal and non-royal, before moving on to chapters that deal with various aspects of Egyptian queens, followed by studies on the legal status and economic roles of non-royal women and, finally, on women's health and body adornment. Within this sweeping chronological range, each study is intensely focused on the evidence recovered from a particular site or a specific time-period. Rather than following a strictly chronological arrangement, the thematic organization of chapters enables readers to discern diachronic patterns of continuity and change within each group of women. · Clémentine Audouit , Paul Valery University, Montpellier, France · Anne Austin , University of Missouri, St. Louis, Missouri, USA · Mariam Ayad , The American University in Cairo, Cairo, Egypt · Romane Betbeze , Université de Genève, Switzerland, and Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes, PSL, France · Anke Ilona Blöbaum , Saxon Academy of Sciences and Humanities in Leipzig, Leipzig, Germany · Eva-Maria Engel , Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Berlin, Germany · Renate Fellinger , University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK · Kathrin Gabler, University of Basel, Basel, Switzerland · Rahel Glanzmann , independent scholar, Basel, Switzerland. · Izold Guegan, Swansea University, UK, and Sorbonne University, Paris, France · Fayza Haikal , The American University in Cairo, Cairo, Egypt · Janet H.
