Why it SUCKED Being a Woman in Ancient Egypt | Boring History for Sleep

Get cozy and step into the scorching sands of Ancient Egypt — but not as a queen or priestess. In this calm and immersive bedtime documentary, we uncover the brutal truth about what life was really like for everyday women in one of history’s most iconic civilizations.

Told through gentle narration and real stories, this episode of Boring History for Sleep reveals the hidden burdens placed on women from childhood through motherhood and old age. You’ll meet girls sold into marriage, mothers risking their lives in childbirth, and wives caught in a system that prized obedience and fertility over freedom. While powerful women like Cleopatra and Hatshepsut are remembered in gold, the average woman’s life was one of silence, labor, and sacrifice.

Perfect for sleep, quiet learning, or reflective listening, this long-form documentary offers a soft yet sobering portrait of gender, power, and survival in the ancient world.
