The lives of Egyptian women were free of the restraints normally placed upon women in the rest of the ancient world, allowing them to exercise a full part in society, recognised as equal with men under the law. Using evidence gleaned from written records, monuments, sculpture, tombpaintings and the material found in tombs, including objects and human remains, Barbara Watterson has built up a fascinating picture of the often overlooked contributions made by women of all classes to the social, and sometimes the political, history of ancient Egypt. In Women in Ancient Egypt, the types of occupations and careers open to women are described, as are their domestic and personal lives - marriage, health and childbirth; family life; running a home; clothing, jewellery and beauty preparations. The women whose lives are fleshed out in this book are largely the 'little people' of history, women who rarely exercised any power outside the domestic sphere. In contrast, however, the final chapter deals with those women, surprisingly few in number, whose influence on the political affairs of their country was considerable and, in some cases, legendary, with a small number of royal women able to ascend the throne of Egypt and rule as female kings.… (mehr)

A nice exploration of what can be found or inferred about the lives of women in ancient Egypt. (Of course, "ancient Egypt" is a bit like saying "Western civilisation"; it varies widely by time and place.) While looking at the Nefertitis and Cleopatras, it also explored the everyday woman's life.

For my secondary purposes, there are lots of interesting bits to be mined for worldbuilding ideas. Equality of legal status; slavery not quite what you might expect; matrilineal patriarchy; the Divine Wives of Amun; everyone called Nitocris. ( )
