Abstract

Iz fragmentarnih starovjekovnih izvora egiptolozi, arheolozi i antropolozi uspjeli su složiti
sliku o položaja žena u sofisticiranom i kompleksnom staroegipatskom društvu. Konkretno,
žene u starom Egiptu imale su pravnu, socijalnu i seksualnu neovisnost nasuprot žena antičke
Grčke i Rima, ali i većine žena sve do kraja 19. stoljeća, u nekim društvima čak i danas.
Štoviše, nekolicina kraljevskih žena uspjela se uzdići do najviše pozicije moći u Egiptu te su
vladale kao monarsi, fenomen koji je u čitavoj povijesti svijeta veoma rijedak. Ženske
vladarice starog Egipta možemo pronaći u primjerima Neithotep, Merneit, Hetephereš,
Khentkawes I., Nitikret, Sobekneferu, Ahotep, Amozis-Nefertari, Hatšepsut, Teja, Nefertiti,
Nefertari, Tausret, Arsinoja II., Kleopatra II., Kleopatra III., Kleopatra VII. Filopator. Neke
od njih vladale su kao ženski faraoni, druge su bile regentice svojih maloljetnih sinova, a
ostale su se isticale po iznimnom utjecaju u staroegipatskoj politici i društvu.

Abstract (english)

From fragmentary ancient sources Egyptologist, archaeologist and anthropologist were able to
paint a picture of the position of women in sophisticated and complex ancient Egyptian
society. In particular, women in ancient Egypt had legal, social and sexual independence as
opposed to women in ancient Greece and Rome, or in fact by most women until the late 19th
century, in some societies even today. Moreover, several royal women rose to the highest
position of power in Egypt and ruled as monarchs, a phenomenon that is very rare in the
entire history of the world. Female rulers of ancient Egypt can be found in examples of
Neithhotep, Merneith, Hetepheres, Khentkawes I., Nitocris, Sobekneferu, Ahhotep, AhmoseNefertari, Hatshepsut, Tiye, Nefertiti, Nefertari, Twosret, Arsinoe II., Cleopatra II., Cleopatra
III., Cleopatra VII. Philopator. Some of them ruled as female pharaohs, others were regents of
their underage sons, and some stood out for their exceptional influence in ancient Egyptian
politics and society.
