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 $a Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 00 $a Sobekneferu, $c Queen of Egypt, $d active 18th century B.C. 600 00 $a Hatshepsut, $c Queen of Egypt. 600 00 $a Nefertiti, $c Queen of Egypt, $d active 14th century B.C. 600 00 $a Tausert, $c Queen, consort of Seti II, King of Egypt, $d active approximately 1187 B.C.-1185 B.C. 600 00 $a Cleopatra, $c Queen of Egypt, $d -30 B.C. 650 0 $a Queens $z Egypt $v Biography. 650 0 $a Pharaohs $v Biography. 650 0 $a Pharaohs $x History. 651 0 $a Egypt $x Civilization $y To 332 B.C. 651 0 $a Egypt $x Kings and rulers $v Biography. 651 0 $a Egypt $x History $y To 640 A.D. $v Biography. 700 1 $a Cooney, Kara. 710 2 $a hoopla digital. 856 40 $u https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/12131620 $z Instantly available on hoopla. 856 42 $z Cover image $u https://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/bsa_9781982523725_180.jpeg 941 $a 1 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20190905012229.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B96B35DECFA211E9B77D544F97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
