«Hatchepsut: The Female Pharaoh» is the historical biography by Joyce Tyldesley, published by Penguin Books in paperback (270 pages, in English).
Joyce Tyldesley reconstructs the life of Hatchepsut, who ruled Egypt as pharaoh and preferred to be remembered as king. With archaeological and historical evidence, she analyzes how Hatchepsut defied conventions, with male clothing and a false beard, and how her memory was erased until she became the first recorded woman to rule a nation.
The edition includes bibliography and index; the work was originally published in 1996 and this Penguin Books edition appeared in 1998.
For those interested in the history of ancient Egypt, Egyptology, and biographies of women who defied their era.
Joyce Ann Tyldesley is a British Archaeologist and Egyptologist, academic, writer and broadcaster who specialises in research on women in ancient Egypt. She was interviewed on the TV series Cunk on Earth, about Egyptian pyramids, in 2022.
