One of only a few women who ruled ancient Egypt as a king during its thousands of        years of history, Tausret was the last pharaoh of the 19th dynasty (c. 1200 BCE),        the last ruling descendent of Ramesses the Great, and one of only two female        monarchs buried in Egypt's renowned Valley of the Kings. Though mentioned even in        Homer as the pharaoh of Egypt who interacted with Helen at the time of the Trojan        War, she has long remained a figure shrouded in mystery, hardly known even by many        Egyptologists. Nevertheless, recent archaeological discoveries have illuminated        Tausret's importance, her accomplishments, and the extent of her influence. Tausret:        Forgotten Queen and Pharaoh of Egypt combines distinguished scholars whose research        and excavations have increased our understanding of the life and reign of this great        woman. This lavishly illustrated book utilizes recent discoveries to correctly        position Tausret alongside famous ruling queens such as Hatshepsut and Cleopatra,        figures who have long dominated our view of the female monarchs of ancient Egypt.          Tausret brings together archaeological, historical, women's studies, and other        approaches to provide a scholarly yet accessible volume that will be an important        contribution to the literature of Egyptology -- and one with appeal to both scholars        and anyone with an interest in ancient Egypt culture.
