In the late Fourth Century AD, young Charis dreams of becoming a doctor, a vocation forbidden to her because she is a woman. She escapes to Alexandria, the city of learning, where she poses as a eunuch, thus avoiding all disabilities available to women in those years, and serves as a doctor for a Roman legion serving on the frontier. She subsists in this way until events change her destiny and allow her dreams to become reality.

Hatchepsut... a name erased from monuments despite her importance to Egyptian history. As this book explains through archaeological and historical evidence, she was a remarkable pharaoh (and queen !) having done much for the country. Her expeditions and her relations with the numerous Thoutmosis are discussed in detail. A chapter is dedicated to Senenmut, an important figure in Hatchepsut's reign. Maps, black-and-white illustrations and photographs complete this useful book. Recommended for the interested reader.
