Women, Gender and Identity in Third Intermediate Period Egypt clarifies the role of women in Egyptian society during the first millennium BCE, allowing for more nuanced discussions of women in the Third Intermediate Period. It is an intensive study of a corpus that is both geographically and temporally localized around the city of Thebes, which was the cultural and religious centre of Egypt during this period and home to a major national necropolis. Unlike past studies which have relied heavily on literary evidence, Li presents a refreshing material culture-based analysis of identity construction in elite female burial practices. This close examination of the archaeology of women’s burial presents an opportunity to investigate the social, professional and individual identities of women beyond the normative portrayals of the subordinate wife, mother and daughter.

Taking a methodological and material culture-based approach which adds new dimensions to scholarly and popular understandings of ancient Egyptian women, this fascinating and important study will aid scholars of Egyptian history and archaeology, and anyone with an interest in women and gender in the ancient world.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Li states her research goals clearly and the methods she utilizes to reach those goals are direct. The author is succinct in her writing and provides enough detail for the reader to follow her thought process and argumentation. Her work provides an excellent framework for future studies concerning women and identity and also breaks new ground with its discussion of women as individuals, rather than as a monolithic group. Women, Gender and Identity in Third Intermediate Period Egypt would be a great asset to upper level undergraduates and graduate students studying issues of identity and gender within an ancient Egyptian context; for the latter group, it offers an instructive model for students conducting research on these issues.
-Amanda Jane Shaffery, University of Memphis

  • Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2017
    This invaluable study by Jean Li is limited to elite women in Thebes during the Third Intermediate Period, based primarily on material evidence. I was especially pleased that it includes important information on an area of great interest to me, that of the God’s Wives of Amun, during that time period.

    Overall, I found the book fascinating. The research was well done, and the book was scholarly but easy to read and understand. I highly recommend it.

    The book is divided into an introduction, followed by four sections (listed below), and the author’s conclusions. Tables are included to assist analysis. There are a limited number of black and white illustrations.

    The sections are titled:
    1. Tradition, innovation and a search for Egyptian identity in the Third Intermediate Period.
    2. Rank, status and axes of identity.
    3. Materiality, memory and the mortuary landscape of Thebes.
    4. The symbolic economy of mortuary practices.
