Sinopsis
In the late 1800s and early 1900s, women ventured to Egypt’s deserts as writers, excavators and collectors. They were foundational to the study of ancient Egypt, but their contributions were intentionally marginalized. Missouri S&T historian Kathleen Sheppard uplifts the women who shaped the field in her forthcoming book “Women in the Valley of the Kings: The Untold Story of Women Egyptologists in the Gilded Age.”
