Abstract

The simple Egyptian woman - outside the ruling class - played important roles in the ancient Egyptian society, including: her keenness to accompany the children to many places they go outside the borders of the home, regardless of the extent of the effort they make for that, and that woman may be a maid or a musician. A musician, a farmer, etc., and a woman from a high class accompanied her children on some occasions, including bidding farewell to her husband after his death while practicing burial rites. The foreign women - Nubian, Syrian and Libyan - also took their children to Egypt, according to the tribute received by them, where they were used as slaves.
