In the middle kingdom things took a change for the worst (Lesko). With the arid topography around them they weren’t used to armed conflict they didn’t even make weapons because no one else was there to fight with them, until the middle kingdom when semitic nomads came down from mesopotamia and changed egyptian women and social class forever by the weaving of cultures. The mesopotamian culture was that women were garbage and had to be bought and were nowhere near equal, so all of that comes down and crushes women’s laws in egypt. Because the old kingdom women laws were so high women could actually get jobs (Hairdressers and other low jobs) in middle kingdom egypt unlike mesopotamia. Which shows that women were very close to equality and everything
