Antiquities Lecture: When Women Ruled The World
2026-05-03 14:00 - 15:00 | Tampa Museum of Art, 120 W Gasparilla Plaza, Tampa, FL, 33602, United States
When Women Ruled The World
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.
Sponsored by Charles & Elizabeth Lyman
Lectures are offered free with the cost of daily admission:

Art+ Museum Members: Free
Not-Yet-Members: $25
College Students: Free
