Abstract
One of the peculiarities of the Third Intermediate Period, and especially of the Twenty-first Dynasty, is the number of sources dealing with women, even when limiting the scope to funerary literature. Whereas during the entire New Kingdom, the female owners of Books of the Dead represent a tiny minority, the number of papyri owned by women dramatically increases at the beginning of the Third Intermediate Period.
