The forgotten pharaoh -- brilliant, defiant, statesmanlike, and a woman

Egypt's Queen -- or, as she would prefer to be remembered, King -- Hatchepsut ruled over an age of peace, prosperity, and remarkable architectural achievement (c. 1490 B.C.). Had she been born a man, her reign would almost certainly have been remembered for its stable government, successful trade missions, and the construction of one of the most beautiful structures in the world -- the Deir el-Bahri temple at Luxor. After her death, however, her name and image were viciously attacked, her monuments destroyed or usurped, her place in history systematically obliterated. At last, in this dazzling work of archaeological and historical sleuthing, Joyce Tyldesley rescues this intriguing figure from more than two thousand years of oblivion and finally restores the female pharaoh to her rightful prominence as the first woman in recorded history to rule a nation.

"An absorbing scholarly biography, based on a meticulous review of the archaeological record, of a remarkable woman". -- Kirkus Reviews
