Uncover how Orientalism shapes perceptions of powerful women from antiquity. This compelling study examines how figures like Cleopatra, though Hellenistic, became Western symbols of ‘otherness’ and female power, often through Orientalist stereotypes. Delve into the reimagining of ancient queens and empresses across Western arts, contrasting these visualizations with Eastern perspectives. Essential for Indian scholars and enthusiasts of art history, cultural studies, and classical civilizations, this book offers critical insights into the enduring impact of stereotypes on historical representation and the reception of women in power.
