Cleopatra Rules! By Vicky Alvear Shecter

Cleopatra Rules! is a biography of Cleopatra, the last of the mighty
line of pharaoh’s. This book states the truth about her life and what
she stood for. As it turns out much of what we know about her is a lie
and came from the Romans who hated her. She is portrayed as a power
hungry seductress, dripping in jewels, when in reality she was average
looking, had only two relationships in her life, and was a fiercely
intelligent woman who only wanted to make sure her country survived.
What was known about her and her life all came from the Romans until
recently, scientists have discovered that it was all propaganda to
dehumanize her and give the Romans someone to blame for their trouble.
