About this item
In "Women in the Valley of the Kings: The Untold Story of Women Egyptologists in the Gilded Age," Kathleen Sheppard illuminates a crucial but often overlooked aspect of Egyptology: the significant contributions of women who laid the foundation for the field's exploration and scholarship.
Sheppard challenges the traditional narrative dominated by male figures by spotlighting pioneering women who ventured into Egypt during the Golden Age of Exploration. Amelia Edwards, Jenny Lane, and Marianne Brocklehurst emerge as trailblazers who documented their journeys through travelogues, diaries, and maps, offering invaluable insights into Egypt's ancient wonders.
Among these women, Maggie Benson stands out as the first granted permission to excavate in Egypt, alongside her lifelong companion Nettie Gourlay. Together, they faced oppression and exclusion but achieved remarkable success, notably excavating the Temple of Mut, a significant archaeological site.
Each subsequent woman mentioned in Sheppard's narrative builds upon the achievements of her predecessors. Emma Andrews' role as a patron and archaeologist opened doors for Margaret Murray, who in turn advanced Egyptological education. Artists like Amice Calverley and Myrtle Broome contributed by creating meticulous reproductions of tomb art at Abydos, while Kate Bradbury and Caroline Ransom took on leadership roles in critical Egyptological institutions.
Through these stories, Sheppard reshapes our understanding of Egyptology, revealing how these courageous women defied societal norms and pushed the boundaries of exploration. Their collective efforts not only expanded knowledge of Egypt's ancient past but also paved the way for future generations of women scholars in the field.
"Women in the Valley of the Kings" celebrates these women as pivotal figures who, through their passion, dedication, and resilience, transformed Egyptology forever, challenging and enriching the grand narrative of exploration with their own remarkable contributions.
