ConclusionsReviewsThrough the discussion of an impressive range of evidence, Ada Nifosi sheds new light on everyday lives of women in Egypt from the Pharaonic to the Greco-Roman period. The author focuses her attention on many aspects of women's functions in society, from childbirth and reproduction to professions and the administration of family wealth; a vital part not only of their households but also of village and city communities, women played a significant role in the shaping of the multicultural society of Egypt. Becoming a Woman and Mother in Greco-Roman Egypt is an important reading for anyone interested in gender and women studies and social history of ancient Egypt. - Roberta Mazza, The University of Manchester, UK Author InformationAda Nifosi gained a BA in Classical Archaeology at the University of Padua, Italy, and an MA and MPhil in Egyptian Archaeology at the University of Bologna, Italy.
