Lecture: When Women Ruled the World
Sunday, May 3, 2026 from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM
Location: 120 W Gasparilla Plaza Tampa , FL 33602 United States
Details
A woman’s power in the ancient world (and much of human history) was always compromised from the outset, but who were the women who once ruled the richest and most successful state of the ancient Mediterranean during the Bronze Age? Ancient Egyptian female kings, including Hatshepsut and Nefertiti, really did rule against all odds. Given this social reality in the ancient world, how then did women negotiate roles or power and authority? Addressing some of the causes of social inequality in this lecture, Prof. Kara Cooney will go beyond myth and legend to shed light on these female pharaohs and reveal their historical legacy. Kara Cooney (https://linktr.ee/karacooney) is a professor of ancient Egyptian art and architecture and chair of the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures at the University of California, Los Angeles. Specializing in social history, gender studies, and economies of the ancient world, she received her PhD in Egyptology from Johns Hopkins University. Lectures are offered free with the cost of daily admission: Art+ Museum Members: Free Not-Yet-Members: $25 College Students: Free
