From KMT:The staggering amount of material that had to be assembled and collated for Families, not to mention the actual writing itself, leaves this reviewer in awe of the accomplishment. . . . A book to own, read cover to cover, and pull from the shelf again and again.

Du site de l'éditeur : Le but de cette étude est de mieux définir le rô le joué par la famille royale dans la monarchie égyptienne et ses institutions à l’Ancien Empire (c. 2700-2200 av. J.-C.).

From Amazon.com:This is a rich and lively account of the women of ancient Egypt from goddesses to dancing girls, queens to housewives. The fragmentary evidence allows us only tantalising glimpses of the sophisticated and complex society of the ancient Egyptians. Carolyn Graves-Brown draws on funerary remains, tomb paintings, architecture and textual evidence to explore all aspects of women in Egypt from goddesses and queens to women as the \'vessels of creation\'. This is a wide ranging and revealing account told with authority and verve.
