About this product

Product Information

This riveting narrative explores the lives of six remarkable female pharaohs, from Hatshepsut to Cleopatra--women who ruled with real power--and shines a piercing light on our own perceptions of women in power today. 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.

Reviews
"An accessible spin through the corridors of power in ancient Egypt, corridors that converged on thrones on which women reigned...Cooney provides welcome insights into pharaonic politics while bringing numerous little-known Egyptian women to the fore." -Kirkus "Although Cooney occasionally flirts with gender essentialism, this book shines as an introduction to ancient Egyptian society and beliefs centered around elite women's experiences." -Booklist "...this book breaks from trends in studies of ancient Egypt...Cooney discusses the women's leadership...and speculates about what they must have experienced...her stories of these remarkable women...will enchant those wishing to imagine what ancient Egyptian court life was like." -Publishers Weekly "Not since Leonard Cottrell's Lady of the Two Lands (1966) has such an engrossing, well-researched collective study of Egyptian power queens been available. Definitively recommended for anyone with an interest in ancient Egyptian civilization or women's studies." - Library Journal "When Women Ruled the World (or at least the Egyptian part of it) draws the reader into many less known aspects of ancient history with an informal prose and style for the general reader." -NY Journal of Books "To this very day, a majority of countries have never elected or appointed a female leader, and yet one of the oldest civilizations in the world, the ancient Egyptians, had several women take the role of pharaoh during their long history...Dr. Cooney breaks down the lessons our modern world might take from their examples." -Houston Public Media "Cleopatra may have ruled more than two thousand years ago, but her reign is still teaching Kara Cooney about the relationship between women and power today." -Daily Bruin "...full of shadowy stories of murder, incest, political power plays and enough intrigue to satisfy even the most jaded reader." -HoustonPress, "Although Cooney occasionally flirts with gender essentialism, this book shines as an introduction to ancient Egyptian society and beliefs centered around elite women's experiences." -Booklist
