SATURDAY | FEBRUARY 8 | 1:30 – 3:30 PM
NORMA KERSHAW AUDITORIUM | LECTURE
Presented by Alison Wilkinson, a PhD Candidate at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland.
This talk presents a deep dive into the textual evidence for marriage and marital separation with a focus on the question: What rights did women have in these processes? New Kingdom and Demotic legal records together with New Kingdom letter correspondences are examined for the answers. This “marriage” of gender studies and linguistic analyses uncovers subtle nuances concerning marital unions and separations within the culture of ancient Egypt.
