“for in contrast to the restrictions imposed on respectable Greek women who only went out of the house as a last resort and even then fully covered, their Egyptian sisters were not only allowed out, but attended market and ‘are employed in trade while the men stay at home and do the weaving’. Further unnatural practices meant that Egyptian ‘women pass water standing up, men sitting down’,”
Joann Fletcher, Cleopatra the Great: The Woman Behind the Legend

Joann Fletcher, The Search for Nefertiti: The True Story of an Amazing Discovery

Joann Fletcher, The Story of Egypt: The Epic History of the World's Greatest Civilisation
