Throughout the centuries, women have been one of the greatest forgotten figures in history, since for traditional historiography there were only kings, battles and gods. Nowadays, research tries to rescue the feminine figure from the different imposed pigeonholes and give the true value to its contribution
in our past, present and -with them- future.
The work that concerns us in the case of the woman of Ancient Egypt is to promote the necessary visualization to move away from the traditional roles of home and motherhood as unique and, always respecting these, expand them to realize the great variety of tasks that Egyptian women could perform, as well as the legislation that protected them. The medical-religious world was not an exception and we must recognize the work of these women in daily religiosity, both in the private and public spheres, both at home and at the state level. A feminist debate in the study of this daily reality of Egyptian women belonging to
different social groups will provide us a real, plural and updated portrait of these extraordinary women.
