Overview

In the first of this ""Women Who Were Kings"" series, we uncover the life of the first great woman in history. Hatshepsut--throne name Maatkare--was one of the greatest pharaohs of Ancient Eygpt, and remarkably--a woman. In a civilisation that didn't allow women to rule, how did Hatshepsut ascend to the throne? What did she achieve, and what were her policies as a female politician? What mark did she make on Egypt as its female king? What is her story? Properly researched, lavishly illustrated, and with footnotes and a bibliography, this graphic novel biography is suited for anyone with an interest in women rulers in Ancient Egypt. For Ages 10+.

In true Chan style, the artwork is amazing and so expressive in the faces of each character. However, the part I really love is the list of references included in the back of the books PLUS a full set of footnotes and artistic sources on Chan's website. The storytelling is well-researched and presented for kids aged 10 years and over, with great detail into the sociological environment at the time. An excellent starting point for younger kids looking at specific historical figures. Bookriot.com An engaging and informative text which captures the life of one of Egypt's most successful rulers - Hatshepsut. Well written from an historical perspective, the graphics and narrative capture the struggle that women faced to gain and maintain power in the past. A welcome addition to any school library it can be used successfully in both the junior history programme, and just for fun, in senior classes. Ms Denise Templeman, Ancient History Teacher Looks incredible! The author has done their research! Victor Davidson, Teacher-Librarian at Birrong Girls High and Egyptologist
