The high status of women in ancient Egypt is reflected in numerous aspects of their culture, particularly through the abundance of female deities representing the Divine Feminine, revered by both genders.
While women were generally viewed as equals to men, the male authority structure remained intact, evident in both domestic and public spheres, with men often seen as ordained figures.
The concept of balance and harmony was central to Egyptian culture, exemplified by the goddess Ma'at, whose white feather symbolized the equilibrium necessary for social stability.
Despite a male-dominated monarchy highlighted by figures like Osiris, notable female leaders such as Hatshepsut and Cleopatra VII illustrate exceptions to the general pattern of male succession.
