SUMMARY:Egyptology Tour Through Gilded-Age New York
DESCRIPTION:New York\, New York\n\n\n\nWomen built American Egyptology. Whe
 n Britons Amelia Edwards and Kate Bradbury arrived in New York in November
  of 1889\, the first thing they saw was a still-copper-hued Statue of Libe
 rty. They had arrived for a five-month whirlwind lecture tour\, hoping to 
 fan America’s spark of Egyptological interest into flames. Their plan wo
 rked. The women toured Egyptology collections\, including at the New-York 
 Historical Society and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Over the next 25 ye
 ars\, American women took up the mantle\, building and curating these coll
 ections in New York. Dr. Kathleen Sheppard\, author of the new book Women
  in the Valley of the Kings: The Untold Story of Women Egyptologists in th
 e Gilded Age (St. Martin’s Press)\, will take attendees on a tour of Ne
 w York between 1889 and 1916\, shedding light on some of the city’s olde
 st Egyptological sights. Dr. Sheppard will be signing copies of the new bo
 ok.\n\nDr. Sheppard\, a Professor in the History and Political Science dep
 artment at Missouri S&amp\;T in Rolla\, Missouri\, has dedicated her caree
 r to telling the stories of women in Egyptology. She earned her MA in Egyp
 tian Archaeology at University College London in 2002\, and her PhD in His
 tory of Science from the University of Oklahoma in 2010. Her 2013 book was
  a scientific biography of the archaeologist and Egyptologist Margaret Ali
 ce Murray (2013). Her 2022 book\, Tea on the Terrace: Hotels and Egyptolo
 gists' Social Networks\, 1885-1925\, investigated how Egyptologists travel
 ed and worked their ways through Egypt.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
