In search of the woman Pharaoh, Hatshepsut

About this book

"This compelling book tells of Winlock's excavations over the course of twenty years at Deir el-Bahri, the site with which the woman Pharaoh Hatshepsut is most closely identified. Winlock conjures up a procession of vanished figures from Hatshepsut's court; he also details the conditions and emotions surrounding archaeological fieldwork - the surges of optimism and despair, the exhiliaration of an unexpected find."--BOOK JACKET.
