Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

From the dawn of Egyptian civilization, women occupied a place that went far beyond domestic life. Although political power was largely in the hands of men, over the course of more than three millennia of Nile history, female figures emerged who stood out for their intelligence, ambition, and ability to govern. Pharaohs traces the trajectories of these extraordinary women who managed to assume power in an environment designed to exclude them. The journey begins in the Early Dynastic Period and stops at names shrouded in the enigmatic memory of ancient Egypt, such as Nitocris and Khentkaus I. It also delves into the figures of Tetisheri and Ahhotep, mothers and warriors who played a fundamental role in laying the foundations of the New Kingdom. Leading experts in the history of Ancient Egypt introduce us to Hatshepsut, the great builder who marked a turning point in monumental architecture, Tiy, the powerful wife and advisor of Amenhotep III, and Nefertiti, who became an eternal symbol of beauty and power. They also recover the memory of Nefertari, Ramses II's favorite queen, and Tausert, the last sovereign before the collapse of her dynasty. Not to mention Cleopatra VII, the last queen of Egypt, strategist and diplomat, who challenged Rome and embodied the last glimmer of independent Egypt. Through politics, religion, architecture, and myth, this work rescues the legacy of women who transformed history and the universal imagination.
