Examine the role of women in the Egyptian dynastic system. Provide examples from each period.

1) Women were held in high esteem in Ancient Egyptian society, even reaching the highest rank of pharaoh. They seem to have mostly had the typical gender roles, such as mother, wife, or consort.
2) Through tomb paintings and reliefs, historians can assume that women were portrayed with different colors and forms but were represented frequently.
3) Hatshepsut was represented as a male pharaoh. Female goddesses were common and powerful.
4) Although women were fairly free and appreciated in Egyptian society, they were excluded from some activities, such as hunting and war.
