Notable Women of #AncientEgypt: #Nebet
Nebet (“Lady”), a Priestess of #Thoth (#Tehuti) was the “first recorded female #vizier in Ancient Egyptian history” during the late Old Kingdom of Egypt in the #SixthDynasty (#2300BC).
The vizier was appointed by the Pharaoh, and the vizier’s “paramount duty was to supervise the running of the country, such as a prime minister, at times even small details of it such as sampling the city's water supply.”
“All other lesser supervisors and officials, such as tax collectors and scribes, would report to the vizier.“

Notable Women of #AncientEgypt: #Hatsheput
Hatsheput (1479-1457 BCE), claimed the throne because she was the daughter of the late king “Thutmose I by his Great Royal Wife” (Watterson, 101), and not “a concubine” (Watterson, 101). Hatsheput’s reign was known for “great achievements” (Watterson, 101) both “#architectural and commercial” (Watterson, 101). Her most successful commercial venture was “an expedition by sea to Punt, probably located in the east Sudan bordering on northern Eritrea/Ethiopia” (Watterson, 101).
