Female rulers are a rare phenomenon-but thousands of years ago in ancient Egypt, women reigned supreme. Regularly, repeatedly, and with impunity, queens like Hatshepsut, Nefertiti, and Cleopatra controlled the totalitarian state as power-brokers and rulers. But throughout human history, women in positions of power were more often used as political pawns in a male-dominated society. What was so special about ancient Egypt that provided women this kind of access to the highest political office? What was it about these women that allowed them to transcend patriarchal obstacles? What did Egypt gain from its liberal reliance on female leadership, and could today's world learn from its example? Celebrated Egyptologist Kara Cooney delivers a fascinating tale of female power, exploring the reasons why it has seldom been allowed through the ages, and why we should care. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 00 Sobekneferu,|cQueen of Egypt,|dactive 18th century B.C. 600 00 Hatshepsut,|cQueen of Egypt. 600 00 Nefertiti,|cQueen of Egypt,|dactive 14th century B.C. 600 00 Tausert,|cQueen, consort of Seti II, King of Egypt, |dactive approximately 1187 B.C.-1185 B.C. 600 00 Cleopatra,|cQueen of Egypt,|d-30 B.C. 650 0 Queens|zEgypt|vBiography. 650 0 Pharaohs|vBiography. 650 0 Pharaohs|xHistory. 651 0 Egypt|xCivilization|yTo 332 B.C. 651 0 Egypt|xKings and rulers|vBiography. 651 0 Egypt|xHistory|yTo 640 A.D.|vBiography. 700 1 Cooney, Kara. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 12131620?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ bsa_9781982523725_180.jpeg
