X-WR-CALDESC:An engrossing biography of the longest-reigning female pharaoh
  in Ancient Egypt and the story of her audacious rise to power.\n \nHatshe
 psut—the daughter of a general who usurped Egypt's throne—was expected to 
 bear the sons who would legitimize the reign of her father’s family. Her f
 ailure to produce a male heir\, however\, paved the way for her improbable
  rule as a cross-dressing king. At just over twenty\, Hatshepsut out-maneu
 vered the mother of Thutmose III\, the infant king\, for a seat on the thr
 one\, and ascended to the rank of pharaoh.\n\nShrewdly operating the lever
 s of power to emerge as Egypt's second female pharaoh\, Hatshepsut was a m
 aster strategist\, cloaking her political power plays in the veil of piety
  and sexual reinvention. She successfully negotiated a path from the royal
  nursery to the very pinnacle of authority\, and her reign saw one of Anci
