From pharaohs to fragrance-makers, ancient Egypt had its fair share of nasty women. They ruled empires stretching from sub-Saharan Africa to northern Lebanon, supervised temples and worshiped a pantheon, and were farmers, merchants, and everything in between. Join me as we journey through the sands of time to meet these extraordinary women, whose stories, tombs, and memories are just as vivid and exceptional now as they were 2000 years ago.
