Almé: Egyptian Fairy Tales
Living near the end of Enlightenment, Benedikte Naubert (1756-1819) wrote this book as a Freemason-inspired fantasy of palace intrigue and political machinations in ancient Egypt. Almé, a poor bookworm, ingratiates herself with an Egyptian royal family by telling captivating stories about themselves. Masterfully composed, the stories explore issues of virtue and vice while also depicting how difficult it is for women to do the right thing in the world that does not give them freedom.
