Hatshepsut is now recognised as the most successful woman to rule Egypt as pharaoh! Her story is a bit of a rollercoaster in life and also in death, as historians have changed the way they've seen her over the years. Joining us to hear this epic story are the very funny New Yorkers, Ashley Hamilton and Claire Parker from Celebrity Memoir Book Club!

This is a comedy/history podcast, the report begins at approximately 14:08 (though as always, we go off on tangents throughout the report).
