At a Glance

Kick off Women’s History Month with Kenneth Garrett, ancient civilization expert and award-winning National Geographic photographer, for a lecture featuring some of the most powerful women of ancient Egypt. Using his stunning photographs, Kenneth will introduce you to Neithhotep, who was considered the first ruling queen, as well as Nefertari, Nefertiti, Hatshepsut and Cleopatra VII, who was the last of the female pharaohs. You’ll travel from 3200 BCE through 12 BCE to discover how these extraordinary “Queens of Egypt” lived in a world dominated by men.
