About this product

When Women Ruled the World: Six Queens of Egypt by Kara Cooney is a nonfiction paperback that examines the lives of six influential female pharaohs from ancient Egypt, including Hatshepsut and Cleopatra. The book investigates how women in this civilization achieved high political power, contrasting their experiences with the limited roles of powerful women throughout other periods of history. It explores societal attitudes toward female leadership, analyzing why such authority was rare elsewhere and what modern society might learn from ancient Egypt's acceptance of queens as rulers. With 400 pages and a scholarly yet accessible tone, the work offers historical insight into gender and power dynamics across civilizations.
