Hatshepsut is a controversial pharaoh and it's purely because she was a pharaoh and one of the greatest by most accounts (and in our opinion). Join us as we examine her life, legacy, and the misogyny that tainted both and led to her nearly being erased from history.
*Note: Senenmut actually died before Hatshepsut, but he still faced the brunt of the erasure immediately after her death.
