This is my linocut portrait of Peseshet, the earliest named woman in the history of science or medicine. She is described in the elaborate Saqqara tomb of her son Akhethotep,a royal official and overseer of priests, who lived during the Fifth Dynasty around 2400 BCE. She is described as the "Overseer of the Women Physicians." This linocut was printed by hand, using three blocks, in black, bronze, indigo and magenta ink on white Japanese kozo paper, 11" by 14" (27.9 cm by 35.6 cm). I have shown her dispensing medicine, with hieroglyphics spelling out her name (horizontally) and indicating that she was "wer snwnt per aa" or chief doctor (who happened to be female) of the great house (or palace).
