Tyldesley produces a surprisingly thorough book on ancient women in Egypt--suprising in the sense that the time period she discusses is thousands of years ago, but Tyldesley manages to discuss the women so that they are relevant and fully-formed, even if information may be scarce at times. Occasionally Tyldesley's works can be dry and didactic, but this work is one of her best ones (along with Nefertiti). ( )

Readable and useful - well documented and sensible. Read along with Davies....
