Lecture by Mr. Ricard Julià, member of the Catalan Society of Egyptology and the Catalan Archaeology Society.
Over the course of Egypt’s long history (when known as “Kemet”), only a small number of women were able to be identified. Almost all of them were related to royal families, as was the case with Hatshepsut, Nefertiti and Nefertari. It is true, however, that over the course of 3000 years of history, taking us up to 30 BC, millions of women who were nameless and unidentified did exist, working to advance the nation of the double crown. Their rights, uses and customs are all known to us, even if their names are largely forgotten. In this lecture we seek to contribute to a better understanding of what their day-to-day life was like, which surely was more advanced in many respects than the present.
