1891. Edwards enjoyed three separate careers: as a journalist, a novelist, and an Egyptologist. She was also an active supporter of the suffrage movement, serving at one time as Vice-President of the Society for Promoting Women's Suffrage. Amelia Edwards never married, but lived and traveled for much of her life with a female companion. Though she was a popular novelist, today you are most likely to come across her tales of travel. In this series of lectures, Edwards' personality sparkles through the pages. In one chapter, she describes in detail a Queen of Egypt, Hatasu, dissenting from other Egyptologists who minimized her importance. Edwards' love and knowledge of Egyptology are ably demonstrated in this collection. See other works by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.

Travel in Nineteenth Century Egypt,

This review is from: Pharaohs, Fellahs and Explorers (Paperback)
This is an old book, but great reading, and I recommend it for anyone who has either been there or is thinking about a trip to Egypt. Some of the sites I saw in 1980 were familiar to me and it was interesting to read what they were like back then. This author is always interesting and I have other of her books. Loved it.
