Hatshepsut: The Queen Who Became King By Tracey Wagstaff
She was born a royal daughter. She became a royal wife. But she rose to rule as Pharaoh-and changed the course of history. In a time when women were meant to stand behind the throne, Hatshepsut claimed it for herself. Not as queen consort or regent, but as king of all Egypt. She wore the false beard of power, spoke with the voice of a god, and led one of the most prosperous eras in Egyptian history. Her reign was bold. Her vision was vast. Her legacy-nearly lost. After her death, Hatshepsut's name was struck from monuments, her statues defaced, her story silenced for centuries. But stone remembers what words forget-and now her truth is rising from the dust. Hatshepsut: The Queen Who Became King is a deeply researched, emotionally rich, and historically accurate retelling of one of ancient history's most extraordinary lives. Step inside the temples of Karnak, the golden courts of Thebes, and the sacred halls of Deir el-Bahari to discover the woman who ruled as king-and refused to be forgotten. For readers who crave powerful female stories, ancient intrigue, and historical restoration, this is more than biography-it is resurrection. She ruled. They erased her. We remember her.
