Cleopatra was important as a powerful female ruler in Egypt, the last of Ptolemy XII's Macedonian dynasty. She ruled Egypt as the dominant co-ruler for nearly 30 years and made powerful alliances with Rome through Julius Caesar and Marc Antony.
Women of Ancient Egypt. The actress Elizabeth Taylor portrayed Cleopatra in the 1963 Hollywood movie named after the famous Egyptian queen. Women in ancient Egypt were ahead of their time. They could not only rule the country, but also had many of the same basic human rights as men. One of the first women to hold the rank of pharaoh was Hatshepsut, who began her rule in about 1,500 B.C.E. Hatshepsut took care of her people and built temples to the gods as well as other public buildings. Egyptian custom dictated that a pharaoh, who was considered a god, could not marry a mortal.
