Violence and Gender in Ancient Egypt shifts the focus of gender
studies in Egyptology to social phenomena rarely addressed through
the lens of gender - war and violence, exploring the complex
intersections of violence and gender in ancient Egypt. Building on
current discussions in philosophy, anthropology, and sociology, and
on analysis of relevant historic texts, iconography, and
archaeological remains by looking at possible gender patterns
behind evidence of trauma, the book bridges the gap between modern
understandings of gendered violence and its functioning in ancient
Egypt. Areas explored include the following: differences in
gendered aggression and violent acts between people and deities;
sexual violence; the taking of men, women, and children as
prisoners of war; and feminization of enemies. By examining ancient
Egyptian texts and images with evidence for violence from different
periods and contexts - private tombs, divine temples, royal stelae,
papyri, and ostraca, ranging over 3,000 years of cultural history -
Violence and Gender in Ancient Egypt highlights the complex
intersection between gender and violence in ancient Egyptian
culture. The book will appeal to scholars and students working in
Egyptology, archaeology, history, anthropology, sociology, and
gender studies.
