Margaret Benson (1865–1916) was an English author and Egyptologist who made contributions to the study of ancient Egyptian history. Born in June 1865, she developed a career that bridged the worlds of literature and archaeological exploration, culminating in historic excavation work.\n\nBenson is best remembered for her landmark excavation of the Precinct of Mut. This ancient temple compound, situated on the east bank of the Nile, became the focal point of her archaeological endeavors. Through her dual career as an author and researcher, Benson left a legacy in the field of Egyptology before her death in May 1916.
