Riassunto

Manetho, the Egyptian priest commissioned by Ptolemy II to write a history of Egypt, states that the law of his country allowed a woman to reign on the throne of the pharaohs, even in archaic times. But did an Egyptian queen really enjoy a privileged status compared to other sovereigns in antiquity? In the pages of this book we have compared images and the lives of pharaohs, in a quest to answer this question, even if only partly. For our journey into the world of women monarchs, we have used written sources and archeological documentation, as well as drawing on Egyptian myths and truly ancient religious texts.
