From Warrior Women to Female Pharaohs: Careers for Women in Ancient Egypt
"Whilst the concept of a career choice for women is a relatively modern phenomenon, the situation in ancient Egypt was rather different." This essay describes how ancient Egyptian women's "ability to exercise varying degrees of power and self-determination was most unusual in the ancient world." Discusses "ladies of leisure," women who held high office, and women priests. From the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC).
