"Amandine Marshall is one of the few Egyptologists who has succeeded in combining the requirements of academic scientific research with the ability to communicate with the general public. Motherhood and Early Childhood in Ancient Egypt is a rich study of two of the most important components of the family, mother and child, an abiding concern for Egyptians from ancient times to the present day. Marshall skillfully explores perceptions of motherhood and childhood, the means of child education, and the spiritual and physical protection afforded to newborns and young children in ancient Egypt."—El-Sayed Mahfouz, Kuwait University
"This work by Amandine Marshall is an extremely welcome addition to the Egyptological literature, as it fills a significant lacuna in our understanding of the crucial moment of coming into existence of an ancient Egyptian. . . . Marshall masterfully uses every available strand of evidence, encompassing texts, images, iconography, artifacts, children’s bodies themselves, medicine, anthropology, and ethnography to weave together a tapestry illustrating the birth and childhood of an ancient Egyptian.”—Salima Ikram, from the foreword
"By comparing how the Egyptians viewed the moment of coming into existence with the manner of their leaving it, this book seeks to redress the imbalance in Egyptological literature on the subject."—Hilary Wilson, Ancient Egypt
