Die Agypterinnen: Eine Kulturgeschichte - Softcover

A new German edition of Jacq's accessible study of the role of women, and the female gender in general, in the culture of ancient Egypt. Drawing on a wide range of sources, notably stelae and artworks, Jacq initially focuses on women in power, encompassing Isis, queens, including Nerfetari and Nefertiti and Pharaohs Hatschepsut and Cleopatra. Other sections discuss images and descriptions of women as lovers, wives and mothers, as workers and as priests and spiritualists. Translated from the French.
