Join us to discuss Women in the Valley of the Kings: the untold story of women Egyptologists in the Gilded Age by Ka thleen Sheppard.

\n

The never-before-told story of the women Egyptolo gists who paved the way for exploration in Egypt and \;laid the ground work \;for Egyptology.

\n

The history of Egyptology is often told as yet one more grand narrative of powerful men striving to seize the day and the precious artifacts for their competing homelands. But that is onl y half of the story. During the so-called Golden Age of Exploration\, ther e were women working and exploring before Howard Carter discovered the tom b of King Tut. Before men even conceived of claiming the story for themsel ves\, women were working in Egypt to lay the groundwork for all future exp loration.

\n

In \;Women in the Valley of the Kings: The Untold St ory of Women Egyptologists in the Gilded Age\, Kathleen Sheppard brings th e untold stories of these women back into this narrative.
