«Las Egipcias» is the historical essay by Christian Jacq, published by Planeta in paperback (358 pages, in Spanish).
Christian Jacq explores the condition of women in pharaonic Egypt and argues that they enjoyed a position comparable to that of men. The book brings closer the lives of queen-pharaohs such as Hatshepsut, Nefertiti or Cleopatra, and also those of anonymous women who were scribes, merchants, priestesses or workers, with their rights and their influence on society.
Historical non-fiction work, in the vein of the La Línea del Horizonte collection. Translation by María José Furió.
Recommended for readers interested in the history of ancient Egypt, the role of women in the ancient world and Christian Jacq's popularising essays.
Christian Jacq is a French author and Egyptologist. He has written several novels about ancient Egypt, notably a five book series about pharaoh Ramses II, a character whom Jacq admires greatly.
