Being a woman
If you are a girl...
Before you reach for the kohl eyeliner and play the Bangles' "Walk like an Egyptian", what do you know about Cleopatra beyong the bewitching eyes, pretty nose and that she bathed in asses' milk? Well, not only did she seduce two of the greatest Roman leaders, she was a powerful leader in her own right and remains one of the most iconic women in history. She is proof that you can have brains and beauty, and that it's only a man's world if you let it be.
Intelligent and feminine, femme fatale and pharaoh- Cleopatra had it all, and was doing it BC. The philosopher Cicero wrote, "Her character was utterly spellbinding". She always got what she wanted, and knew hot to mix business with pleasure. She was a feminist long before the title was even invented, juggled childcare and a career, and had a name that purred seduction.
Her ambition: to rule the world.
The result: eternal fame.
