| Abstract (English): |
In this paper are discussed some aspects of the reception of ancient Babylonian women (ca. 2000-1500 BCE) as empowered women at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century CE. To do so, here are taken as a case study three volumes from the collection "By-Paths of Bible Knowledge", namely the ones written by Margaret Elise Harkness (1854-1923), Archibald Henry Sayce (1846-1933), and Ernest Alfred Wallis Budge (1857-1934), published in 1883, 1885, and 1925 respectively, and devoted to Assyria or to Babylonia. Furthermore, with this choice Harkness, the author of one of the volumes to whom little attention has been paid so far, is vindicated as an author specialising in haute divulgation, and as a good connoisseur of studies of her time dealing with ancient Mesopotamia.

| Abstract (Spanish): |
En este artículo se toman tres volúmenes de la colección "By-Paths of Bible Knowledge" como caso de estudio para presentar la recepción de las mujeres de la antigua Babilonia (ca. 2000-1500 a.n.e.) como mujeres empoderadas a finales del siglo xix e inicios del siglo xx n.e. Concretamente nos fijamos en los volúmenes de Margaret Elise Harkness (1854-1923), Archibald Henry Sayce (1846-1933) y Ernest Alfred Wallis Budge (1857-1934), publicados en 1883, 1885 y 1925 respectivamente, y dedicados a Asiria o a Babilonia. Con esta elección, además, se reivindica a Harkness, artífice de uno de los volúmenes, a quien hasta ahora se ha prestado escasa atención, como autora de divulgación y buena conocedora de los estudios sobre Mesopotamia antigua de su tiempo.
