Hatszepsut. The woman who became king

A fascinating portrait of a strong ruler and the first feminist of antiquity.

Written with unprecedented erudition, this is a story about the great Egypt of the 18th dynasty and the semi-mythical Egyptian queen who cleverly came to power. Hatshepsut, the daughter of a usurping general's right to the throne, had only one task: to extend the family by producing male descendants who legitimized her father's power. Faced with the failure of these plans, the young princess so skillfully managed her father and brother that in effect it was she who sat on the throne of Egypt. Proud and intelligent Hatszepsut became a regenerator of Totmes III, which was still a baby. The Queen's biography also contains many interesting facts about Egyptian society and customs, supported by archaeological and historical sources. Together with the author we penetrate deeper behind the scenes of incestuous marriages and specific Egyptian customs and religiousness (manifested not only by victims and prayers, but also sexual acts). The captivating journey in time and space into the exotic ancient world is, however, full of surprising analogies with the present day.
