Great Women of the Ancient World: Egypt

Ancient Egyptian civilization is a many-century, vivid and fascinating story of an unending succession of rulers. Women were extremely rare among them. This book is devoted to the most famous of them.

Queen Hatshepsut ruled the country during its flourishing era. Unlike male rulers, she did not wage conquest wars.

Queen Nefertiti — her beautiful sculpted portraits, preserved by merciless time, delight many generations of people.

Queen Cleopatra lived in a completely different era, when the greatness of Ancient Egypt was heading toward decline. Egypt’s independence was threatened by mighty and invincible Rome.
