    might be fun when covering well-known women of history to focus on myth-busting and showing the lesser-known side

    • I will eventually get around to Cleopatra and hoo boy howdy are there myths to bust there. Like:

      1. She wasn’t particularly beautiful (physically).
      2. She wasn’t a femme fatale as her typical portrayal shows her.

      And so on. She’s a good example of a strong woman (just not as strong as Hapshetsup was) whose history was rewritten.
