About this audiobook

Hatshepsut, ancient Egypt’s most successful female pharaoh, defied tradition to rule with wisdom, strength, and vision. Born around 1507 BCE, Hatshepsut rose to power as a regent before declaring herself pharaoh, becoming one of the few women to rule Egypt. This biography explores her accomplishments, including ambitious building projects like her temple at Deir el-Bahri, her extensive trade expeditions to the Land of Punt, and her focus on stability and prosperity. Hatshepsut’s reign was marked by peace and economic growth, but her legacy was later obscured by successors who attempted to erase her achievements. This book celebrates her trailblazing leadership and lasting impact on ancient Egyptian history.
