«La dame du Nil» is the historical novel by Pauline Gedge, published by Balland in 1980 (403 pages, in French).
It reconstructs the life of Hatshepsut, the only female pharaoh of Egypt. Daughter of Thutmose, she is designated heiress at fifteen despite the law forbidding women to reign; married to a weak half-brother, she retains power and restores stability to the country as the threat from a stepson who aspires to the throne grows.
Translated from English by Catherine Méliande; original title: Child of the Morning (1977).
For readers of historical fiction interested in ancient Egypt and in female protagonists who defied the conventions of their time.
