Senebtysy was the Middle Kingdom entrepreneur who owned and managed an estate with textile factory in the 18th century BC Egypt. She was involved in the legal dispute over the ownership of slaves with her husband’s daughter, Tehenwet which is a proof that women in ancient Egypt could independently ran their affairs before the law. She was probably buried at Thebes.
