The Divine Feminine: When Women Ruled the Ancient World
Imagine a world where women repeatedly rose to supreme power not as exceptions but as guardians of order. In ancient Egypt, against all odds in a deeply patriarchal society, women ascended to the highest position of god-king multiple times throughout its 3,000-year history. These weren't mere figureheads - they wielded genuine authority, commanded armies, built monuments, and steered the nation through crises. Yet their stories remain largely untold, their accomplishments erased or attributed to men. What made Egypt unique among ancient civilizations wasn't just its architectural marvels but its willingness - even requirement - that women take power during times of dynastic vulnerability. Why would a patriarchal society repeatedly turn to female leadership? And what can these forgotten queens teach us about power, gender, and leadership today?
