«Las Egipcias» is the historical essay by Christian Jacq, published by Planeta in paperback (376 pages, in Spanish).
The essay addresses women's rights in pharaonic Egypt: they could marry freely, inherit, administer and bequeath property, and held positions in the state and in temples. It also brings together portraits of famous and anonymous Egyptian women, with details on clothing, makeup, and their role as mothers and wives.
Subtitled «Retratos de mujeres del Egipto faraónico», it is catalogued under History and corresponds to the 2nd edition published by Planeta in September 2000.
For readers interested in ancient Egypt, social history, and the role of women.
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.
