I'm Amara, and let me be clear: I never wanted to be Queen. I was just a baker's daughter, living a quiet life, when everything was turned upside down. The previous King's blunders and some absurd prophecy shoved me into a role I never asked for. I didn't fight for the throne—I was thrown into it because of other people's mistakes. Imagine being pulled from a simple life, having to leave your family behind, and suddenly being thrust into a kingdom's chaos. That was my reality. I had to wrestle for my place among nobles who saw me as nothing more than a commoner. Every step I took was a struggle to be acknowledged, not as a hero, but as someone who had no choice but to take on a role that should never have been mine. So here I am, trying to navigate a kingdom that doesn't exactly roll out the red carpet for me. If you're looking for a tale of royal glory and epic heroics, you won't find that here. What you'll find is the story of a girl who was thrown to the wolves and had to figure out how to survive in a world that had no place for her.

The first-of-its-kind exhibit cataloged here focuses on the women of Egypt from all levels of society in works compiled strictly from American collections by American curators. Because the quantity of written records is limited (though enormous in comparison to most early societies), there is still much guesswork involved in determining the place women held in Egyptian society. It is clear that, unlike most ancient and not-so-ancient societies, Egypt conferred on women the legal right to own property and to barter their own goods, which means a larger record for current study. The essays here are both erudite and fascinating to read; the illustrations are clear and well presented in conjunction with the text. 117 colour & 112 b/w illustrations
