Women, Gender and Identity in Third Intermediate Period Egypt clarifies the role of women in Egyptian society during the first millennium BCE, allowing for more nuanced discussions of women in the Third Intermediate Period. It is an intensive study of a corpus that is both geographically and temporally localized around the city of Thebes, which was the cultural and religious centre of Egypt during this period and home to a major national necropolis. Unlike past studies which have relied heavily on literary evidence, Li presents a refreshing material culture-based analysis of identity construction in elite female burial practices. This close examination of the archaeology of women’s burial presents an opportunity to investigate the social, professional and individual identities of women beyond the normative portrayals of the subordinate wife, mother and daughter.
Taking a methodological and material culture-based approach which adds new dimensions to scholarly and popular understandings of ancient Egyptian women, this fascinating and important study will aid scholars of Egyptian history and archaeology, and anyone with an interest in women and gender in the ancient world.

Store description
A large collection of privately owned publications, mostly relating to ancient Egypt (all periods), Nubia, and the surrounding areas, which have been gathered together over the course of the last fifty years. Books range from second-hand in good condition to extremely rare, with a number of recently acquired brand new volumes. Over the years I have also procured a selection of withdrawn university library books. The collection further includes a significant number of scholarly journals and popular magazines about the ancient world. Please browse the titles currently available. Additional works are still being added. There are hundreds more yet to be listed. If you should have any questions about any of these offerings, please feel free to inquire. Emails are attempted to be answered in an expeditious manner. Your purchases are always carefully wrapped and shipped promptly. The books come from a smoke-free household. Photographs are available to those seriously interested.…
