Sobekneferu: Egypt's First Female Pharaoh and Her Rebirth as a Modern Pop Icon Read
Andrew's important new article on Egypt's first female pharaoh Sobekneferu (or
Neferusobek). She remains one of the most obscure of all the female pharaohs to
rule Upper and Lower Egypt, something she did for just four years at the end of
the Twelfth Dynasty, circa 1800 BCE. The monarch's life and achievements show
that she was a powerful ruler that managed to hold together the kingdom as it
tittered on the brink of collapse, initiating a new nationalistic dynasty whose
descendants would eventually rise up against the incoming Hyksos warlords of the
Second Intermediate Period. The mystery surrounding Sobekneferu's reign, her magical
and religious beliefs, and her legacy in the nineteenth century led to her coming
to the attention of speculative Egyptological writers such as the mythologist
Gerald Massey, and through this attention she would go on to feature as the antagonist
in Irish writer Bram Stoker's Egyptian novel The Jewel of Seven Stars (1903).
We take a brief look at all aspects of her life and achievements as a preview
to the monarch's first full-length biography The First Female Pharaoh (2023),
penned by the present author. The article is available
now on Academia.edu
