Margaret Murray was born in Calcutta, India on 13 July 1863.
She attended the University College of London and was a student of linguistics and anthropology.
She was also a pioneer campaigner for women's rights.
Margaret Murray accompanied the renowned Egyptologist Sir William Flinders Petrie, on several archaeological excavations in Egypt and Palestine during the late 1890s.
Murray was the first in a line of female Egyptologists employed at The Manchester Museum, The University of Manchester.
In 1908, she undertook the unwrapping of the Two Brothers, a Middle Kingdom non-royal burial excavated by Petrie in Egypt.
It is regarded as the first interdisciplinary study of mummies and probably kick-started future scientific unwrappings, such as those of Keeper Professor Rosalie David completed in the 1970s.
