What did they have for breakfast? Did they have breakfast? That\u2019s what always fascinated me, and it was hard to find [that information] in those days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWriting my first book was really my own exploration in trying to teach myself about how it works, and I thought, well, if I\u2019m interested, other people probably are, too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Excluded from history<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When a job opened in the University of Manchester in 2007, she took the opportunity with both hands. Her interest in the everyday developed into a fascination with the lesser-heard in history as her writing began to focus on women in ancient Egypt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen you\u2019re looking at these times in history, I think the problem is that a lot of archaeology has been uncovered and discussed and put into print. It can kind of set it in stone, blind people,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c150 years ago, people had their own assumptions and so on. And it\u2019s quite important that we try and free ourselves from that \u2013 we use their books as resources for what we\u2019ve found, but we don\u2019t necessarily have to follow how they thought about things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWomen tend to be excluded from big chunks of history. There\u2019s a lot of men who are excluded as well \u2013 but there\u2019s very few people who actually feature in history from beginning to end, aren\u2019t there?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"729\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/satellite.mmu.ac.uk\/northernquota-old\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/437\/2025\/04\/Joyce-Tyldesley-with-bust-of-Nerfertiti-sent-image-729x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Joyce Tyldesley, a white woman with long grey hair and a fringe, grins into the camera while leaning across a table.

But back then, it was obviously more niche. We thought it was going to take off \u2013 and then Covid came along and now everybody knows about distance learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI teach almost everything online, and my online students tend to come from very different backgrounds \u2013 I\u2019ve had students as young as 14 enrol in the courses, but I\u2019ve had students as old as 80 as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have such interesting discussions because there are so many people able to contribute something different. For me, every time I teach and do the same courses every year, I learn more and more about it \u2013 my eyes are open to possibilities even more, which is what learning should be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m a very different Egyptologist now than I was when I started. And I think that\u2019s great.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"589\" src=\"https:\/\/satellite.mmu.ac.uk\/northernquota-old\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/437\/2025\/04\/IMG_3810-1024x589.jpg\" alt=\"Joyce Tyldesley, a white woman with long grey hair and a fringe, is smiling mid-speech while on a Zoom call.
