Margaret Alice Murray was a groundbreaking scholar known for her contributions to Egyptology, archaeology, and folklore. She played a pivotal role in these fields during her time at University College London, where she became the first female lecturer in archaeology. Murray’s research on the witch-cult hypothesis also left a lasting impact on the development of Wicca. Despite facing some academic criticism later on, her work in Egyptology was highly regarded, earning her the nickname “The Grand Old Woman of Egyptology.”
