– *Comparing Ancient Female Rulers**.* Compare the Tang Empress Wu Zetian

(also known as Empress Wu or as Wu Zhao; ruled China around 690-705 AD)

with either the Pharaoh Cleopatra (ruled Egypt around 51-31 BC) or the

Pharaoh Hatshepsut (ruled Egypt around 1478-1458 BC). You may

also propose

(for approval or not) a female ruler not listed. Avoid lengthy quoting or

lengthy close paraphrasing from biographical sources. Make it YOUR

comparative analysis. Your paper should:

a) Compare the two (2) rulers in terms of their situation and ascent to

power, their methods of rule, and their achievements and resourcefulness,

noting similarities and differences. Use specific examples.

b) Consider what your study suggests about the cultures over which they

ruled, identifying any similarities and differences between the cultures.

c) From this comparison, suggest lessons about different types of

effective leadership by a female in the world of modern business and / or

modern politics.
