Ishtar was the Venus of classical mythology - the goddess of love, and the Baby lonian Hades was presided over by a feminine deity. Rank, however, determined social freedom; the woman of the lowest class might go and come at will, but the woman of the high class was condemned to a life of isolation. Woman's position of honor in Egypt is evidenced by the presence of temples and monuments erected to her memory. She assisted her husband in the management of his affairs, and was granted a part in religious worship. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
