The history of Egyptian civilization 17

Forget fragile damsels. Egyptian women were warriors, entrepreneurs, and pharaohs.

Property Owners: Unlike Greece or Rome, women could buy/sell land, slaves, and ships. A widow named Naunakht sued her sons for stealing her inheritance—and won.
Jobs: They worked as weavers, doctors (like Peseshet, "Lady Overseer of Physicians"), priestesses, and even professional mourners (paid to wail at funerals).
Pharaohs: Hatshepsut ruled as a king, wearing a false beard. Cleopatra spoke 9 languages and commanded armies.@amirhawastaha8420
