Lecture with Kara Cooney: Women and Power in Ancient Egypt
NOMA’s Lapis Center for the ArtsIn this lecture, Dr. Kara Cooney, author of When Women Ruled the World: Six Queens of Egypt, addresses questions of ancient social inequalities and how women negotiated their limited leadership roles. How was their power expressed when regularly cloaked by a man’s dominance? Were they able to rule “behind the throne”? How much of this ancient reality still touches us today?
Summer Camp Session 3: Think Beyond (Ages 5–7)
