The lives of Egyptian women were free of the restraints normally placed upon women in the rest of the ancient world allowing them to exercise a full part in society recognised as equal with men under the law. Using evidence gleaned from written records monuments sculpture tombpaintings & the material found in tombs including objects & human remains Barbara Watterson has built up a fascinating picture of the often overlooked contributions made by women of all classes to the social & sometimes the political history of ancient Egypt. In Women in Ancient Egypt the types of occupations & careers open to women are described as are their domestic & personal lives
- marriage health & childbirth; family life; running a home; clothing jewellery & beauty preparations. The women whose lives are fleshed out in this book are largely the little people of history women who rarely exercised any power outside the domestic sphere. In contrast however the final chapter deals with those women surprisingly few in number whose influence on the political affairs of their country was considerable & in some cases legendary with a small number of royal women able to ascend the throne of Egypt & rule as female kings.

Lawrence's finest most mature novel initially met with disgust & incomprehension. In the love affairs of two sisters Ursula with Rupert & Gudrun with Gerald critics could only see a sorry tale of sexual depravity & philosophical obscurity. Women in Love is however a profound response to a whole cultural crisis. The 'progress' of the modern industrialised world had led to the carnage of the First World War. What then did it mean to call ourselves 'human'? On what grounds could we place ourselves above & beyond the animal world? What are the definitive forms of our relationships
- love marriage family friendship
- really worth? & how might they be otherwise? Without directly referring to the war Women in Love explores these questions with restless energy. As a sequel to The Rainbow the novel develops experimental techniques which made Lawrence one of the most important writers of the Modernist movement.
