emberology 's review for:
Considering how little information we have from most of the queens, this is quite coherently compiled. An extended list that doesn't just throw queens one after another, but also offers a short and clear biography of each of those it's possible. Kind of sad really, that there might be an incredible amount of equally or even more intelligent consorts and harem wives than Cleopatra, but we just don't know that (yet?). We give more attention to the more famous kings and queens, because there's more information regarding their reigns, therefore it leads us to believe that they were the most important ones. Anyway, Tyldesley has also written an introduction to the book, so it's a bit easier to put the queens into context if you're not familiar with the women's history in Egypt yet.
