Wikipedia description:
Marcelle Werbrouck (23 May 1889 – 1 August 1959) was the first woman Belgian Egyptologist. Her subjects of research were often related the study of prominent goddesses and women of ancient Egypt. Her first important work was dedicated to the kites, professional mourners (always women) who were paid to lament loudly throughout the burial proceedings. She became later interested in Pharaonic architecture during her study of the temple of Queen Hatshepsut in Deir el-Bahri. Werbouck took part in many missions to the archaeological site of El-Kab in 1936-1937 and 1937–1938, during which she contributed largely to the study of Egyptian divinities and more particularly the goddess Nekhbet.
