Areas explored include the following: differences in gendered aggression and violent acts between people and deities; sexual violence; the taking of men, women, and children as prisoners of war; and feminization of enemies. By examining ancient Egyptian texts and images with evidence for violence from different periods and contexts private tombs, divine temples, royal stelae, papyri, and ostraca, ranging over 3,000 years of cultural history Violence and Gender in Ancient Egypt highlights the complex intersection between gender and violence in ancient Egyptian culture.

Archaeology of Gender and Sexuality
Series editor: Pamela L. Geller
Contributions in this series approach gender and sexuality not as traits or things but as distinct processes, separate though often related, and crucial for materializing how past peoples coupled, birthed, became, labored, oppressed, or mourned within a given cultural-historic context. To this end, the series single-authored books and edited volumes engage with innovative social theorizing about gender and sexuality, namely feminist and queer perspectives that address the complexities of socio-sexual livestheir intersectionality, dynamism, and politicization. Authors also ground theorizing with concrete archaeological or bioarchaeological case studies. Through contextualized and evidence-based examples, readers identify universally shared and culturally specific aspects of gender and sexuality. Timely (or timeless) topics are highlighted, such as copulation, childbirth, space and its segregation, and violence, amongst other concerns. Finally, contributions to the book series critically assess archaeologys contemporary practices and their socio-political impacts. To do so is a lesson in the historic and prescient; authors tease out generational shifts in archaeologists studies of gender and sexuality, as well as propose future directions for research.
