Abstract

Women enjoyed great respect and a high status in ancient Egypt. They experienced the same rights as men, occupied different ranks, and became leaders in some cases. Generally, they had their effective social role as mothers, wives and daughters. Undoubtedly, the importance of women's role had been clearly mirrored in many aspects in art. Indeed, women were treated with honor and respect whether they were common folks or elites. The way women appeared in art reflected their position in the Egyptian society. This esteem bestowed to ancient Egyptian women is clear in many scenes. This article aims to shed the light on some of these aspects showing the difference in the way of treatment and representation between male and female either in punishment or in showing physical disability. As for punishment, women and men received the same penalties. Yet, when it comes to women punishment, a different interaction appeared in representation. Concerning people with physical disability, they were freely depicted in private tombs scenes. Likewise, when it comes to represent a woman's disability, a different approach might be taken. Such ways of women's depiction shaped their heritage in Egypt.
