Hatshepsut was one of the most influential and powerful pharaohs of the 18th Dynasty of Egypt. She faced an abundance of discrimination and prejudice during her rule solely because she was a commanding female ruler in a time when patriarchy was the dominating norm. Therefore she had to overcome many preconceived notions about women in power that were constructed by generations of male pharaohs before her. Despite many obstacles, like an eradication attempt, Hatshepsut altered the social standards regarding women in Ancient Egyptian society. In doing so, she proved that women could be self-sufficient and fully functioning leaders, gave divine legitimacy to their rules, and carved a path for future female rulers throughout the world.
The progressive era was a historical movement in time where extensive social activism and political reform were taking place all across America. If would be inadequate to say that one class of women, either the working class or the middle class, were affected more or less than the other by this era. They were both handing different forms of change and reform, but all of equal value. The working class women were piloting research, implementing reformation programs, attempting to increase wages, improve working conditions, and lobbying legislation to make positive changes. Amongst the working class women were many notable women that changed history.
Native American women have always power within them, but with the arrival of colonists came the arrival of sexism. Today, indigenous women are beginning to thrive in American leadership and are once again tribal leaders like they were pre-colonialism. Even the most successful Native American women have faced unbelievable adversity, commonly including poverty in early life and sexism.

The 5,000 year old country of Egypt has long played a pivotal role in world history. Its contributions to humanity during its golden years have permanently placed this country into a “Hall of Fame” for history. The strategic importance of Egypt has made it a gem that foreign rulers have continuously wanted to claim as their own. Unfortunately, Egypt’s golden age burnt out several millennia ago and its people became vassals to empires very different from their own. With Europe of the 18th century showing growing trends of nationalism, Egypt found a new unexpected leader that would drive his populace to reform which would modernize the nation but follow the dangerous paths of many civilizations where a once celebrated ruler would become corrupt and lose the favor of his people in only the span of one lifetime.
