National Geographic Live! When Women Ruled the World
Professor of Egyptology Kara Cooney offers a look at a time in ancient history when women ruled the world. Often neglected in the history books, these women were considered exceptions to the rule, political pawns in a patriarchal society. But their power and influence is undeniable. Cleopatra used her sexuality, and her money, to build alliances with warlords of the Roman Empire. Neferusobek was the first woman to definitively take the title of king. Nefertiti is known more for her beauty than for bringing a fractured Egypt together. Thu, Feb. 13 at 7 pm. $21.50-$30. First Interstate Center for the Arts, 334 W. Spokane Falls Blvd. wcebroadway.com (800-325-7328)
