Global Speed: Egypt with Dr. Kara Cooney

Global Speed is a community lecture series featuring international figures in the art world, to entertain and inform on global art topics Lecture Topic: The Women Who Ruled the World Almost no evidence of successful, long-term female leaders exists from the ancient world – in the Mediterranean, Near East, Africa, Central Asia, or East Asia. Only the female king of Egypt, Hatshepsut, was able to take on formal power for any considerable length of time, and even she had to share power with a male ruler. Given this social reality, how then did Hatshepsut apply her political genius and negotiate her leadership role? This lecture will work through the ample evidence for Hatshepsut’s reign in an attempt to find the woman behind the statues, monuments, stelae, and obelisks. .
