«Les Egyptiennes» is the historical essay by Christian Jacq, published by Librairie Académique Perrin in paperback (334 pages, in French).
Christian Jacq argues that women in pharaonic Egypt enjoyed equal status: they could marry freely, divorce with a pension, inherit, and work as scribes, doctors, or viziers. Alongside Nefertiti, Hatshepsut, and Cleopatra, anonymous women appear: wives, peasants, priestesses, and temple musicians.
Work originally published in 1996, with the subtitle «Portraits de femmes de l'Égypte pharaonique»; includes bibliographic references (pp. 319-323).
A book intended for readers interested in the history of ancient Egypt and the social role of women in past civilizations.
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.
