This article was concerned with displaying the inequality practised in the ancient Egyptian society according to the gender of its members. Though Egyptian culture was way ahead of its time when it came to female rights , it still made a clear differentiation based on birth gender favouring in many cases males over females and marginalising people of intermediate gender. For example there was a bigger percentage of educated males than females. Although females held a limited number of medical and scribal positions, the whole administration of the country was male dominated. On the other hand women practised equal legal rights when it comes to marriage, divorce and representing themselves in courts. Roles of third gender were not emphasised in funerary sources probably due to the ancient Egyptian beliefs about cosmology.
