Hatchepsut: The Female Pharaoh (in English)
Joyce Tyldesley
Synopsis "Hatchepsut: The Female Pharaoh (in English)"
Hatchepsut ruled over an age of peace, prosperity, and remarkable architectural achievement, but after her death there was a serious attempt to obliterate her name from Egyptian history by vandalizing or destroying her monuments and portraits. Totally forgotten until Egyptologists deciphered hieroglyphs in the 1820s, she has since been subject to intense speculation about her actions and motivations. Combining archeological and historical evidence from a wide range of sources, Joyce Tyldesley's dazzling piece of detection strips away the myths and misconceptions and finally restores the female pharaoh to her rightful place. 'Any powerful woman of the past is interesting to the present generation, and one who so literally illustrates a popular thesis (that in order to get the top job a woman has to assume the character of a man) is a gift to polemicist and iconographes alike, not to mention fanciers of sexually perverse imagery and psychoanalysts...Tyldesley, drily witty, cuts her way through the fallacies and prejudies of her predessors' -Lucy Hughes-Hallet Sunday Times-
