How did Amanirenas treat their female rulers

Her Legacy

After spending her life fighting for her country, Amanirenas died in 4226 (Lisapo ya Kama). She played a significant role in securing Kush for centuries after, since if it weren’t for her leadership, the kingdom would’ve died the moment Romans set their eyes on the land. Queen Amanirenas is set to become the subject of a movie within the next few years “produced by Will Packer with Mark Rosenthal as the scriptwriter”(Face to Face Africa).

Kandake Amanirenas intrigued me since she is one of the most famous rulers in the ancient world, yet I had never heard of her. Being assigned to watch an episode of the PBS documentary Africa’s Great Civilizations, I later came to discover that I had watched the wrong episode. However, the “wrong episode” of the documentary that I watched contained information about Queen Amanirenas that I, otherwise, would have never came across. Most common school history textbooks only emphasizes a woman ruler when discussing Cleopatra’s empire, even though she was ultimately defeated by the Romans. Making peace with one of the largest empires at the time (Romans) is an extraordinary and nearly impossible task. Amanirenas’ courage and bravery inspire me to not only work harder in every aspect of life, but not accept weakness as my role for being a woman. Even though history tends to focus on women being oppressed, Amanirenas demonstrated that this is not always the case.
