Summary:

Female rulers are a rare phenomenon-but thousands of years ago in ancient Egypt, women reigned supreme. 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.
