Following on form my previous post I find that the subject of gender and the cult of Hathor is definitely something that interests me a great deal. I have been speaking to Lesley Kinney regarding this topic and I adore the tools of Hathor's cult and their singificance to women, both in Temples and for everyday people. The only trouble is finding a gap in the research, for Hathor appears to be equally popular with Egyptologists as with the Ancient Egyptians!
