"Very interesting, although not as in-depth or information-rich as I'd originally hoped. Still, it's worth reading and a good introduction to the history of women in ancient Egypt."
"Title of the German edition: Die Königinnen des alten Ägypten
This book illuminates the political and religious role of the queens in ancient egypt. Not much is known about these royal women living the the shadow of their more famous husbands, the pharaohs. But queens were also very important for the balance of the ma´at and many of them held the fate of their country in their hands be it as regent for their underaged son or even as pharaoh like the famous Hatchepsut. It´s a very interesting book with many pictures of women I hadn´t seen before in other books and I really would have liked to learn more about these queens but the source material of their lifes is very sparse and sometimes it´s even impossible to assign a queen with certainty to a pharaoh. Nonetheless there are described more than 180 queens in chronological order with all their titles and as far as possible their husband and children. A very fascinating book for everybody who is interested in ancient egypt and their queens."
"This very nice, well organized, detailed and concise book helps complete an historical picture. It is the perfect complement to Chronicle of Pharaohs, where the story began. The informative text is beautifully illustrated. It contains diagrams, photos, and lists of names, dates and dynasties. The family trees and individual cartouches are especially helpful in keeping the picture in perspective. This book is must for every serious student of Egyptology."
