Original titleAmelia Edwards: Traveller, Novelist & Egyptologist
The subject of this book is a woman who exercised a decisive influence on the history of Egyptology; who was also a gifted writer of both fiction and non-fiction; and whose career marks her out as extraordinary even in the ranks of those other determined and courageous 19th-century women who impressed themselves on society in spite of the prejudice and social forces ranged against them.
