Table of ContentsReviews"""In this lively, absorbing revisionist account of the golden age of archaeology in Egypt, Kathleen Sheppard brings to brilliant life a now-forgotten network of remarkable women whose work enabled the headline-grabbing discoveries of their more celebrated male colleagues and changed Egyptology forever."" - Lynne Olsen, author of Empress of the Nile and NYT Bestseller Madame Fourcade's Secret War ""Kathleen Sheppard shines a historian's flashlight into the dark recesses of ancient Egyptian history in Women in the Valley of the Kings. Howard Carter has nothing on the women Egyptologists of her book whose mostly uncredited toil, talent and tenacity helped build the foundations of the discipline. An engaging and evocative work that transports the reader into Egyptian tombs and down the Nile with the hidden heroines of Egyptology."" - Heath Hardage Lee, author of The Mysterious Mrs. Nixon and The League of Wives" Author InformationKathleen Sheppard is an associate professor at Missouri S&T in Rolla, Missouri.
