Ancient female rulers : women who ruled the world (3500 years ago)
Almost no evidence of successful, long-term female leaders exists from the ancient world - in the Mediterranean, Near East, Africa, Central Asia, or East Asia. Only the female king of Egypt, Hatshepsut, was able to take on formal power for any considerable length of time, and even she had to share power with a male ruler. Given this social reality, how then did Hatshepsut negotiate her leadership role? How did she rule zbehind the throney before her accession? Why did she ascend the throne as a king? What was her relationship with her co-regent Thutmose III? How are we to find this woman’s power when it is cloaked by traditional patriarchal systems? This lecture will work through the ample evidence for Hatshepsut’s reign in an attempt to find the woman behind the statues, monuments, stelae, and obelisks." -- publisher's web site.Discover how Hatshepsut became one of the most powerful female leaders in the world in this interesting and educational video lecture from a seasoned expert.
