About the book:
A GOODREADS CHOICE AWARD FINALIST FOR HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY
"A new history of Egyptology that prioritizes the women whose contributions, for good and otherwise, shaped the field.” - The New York Times
The never-before-told story of the women Egyptologists who paved the way who paved the way for exploration in Egypt and laid the groundwork for Egyptology
The history of Egyptology is often told as yet one more grand narrative of powerful men striving to seize the day and the precious artifacts for their competing homelands. But that is only half of the story. During the so-called Golden Age of Exploration, there were women working and exploring before Howard Carter discovered the tomb of King Tut. Before men even conceived of claiming the story for themselves, women were working in Egypt to lay the groundwork for all future exploration.
