It is evident that Tetisheri had a significant role in the establishment of the 18th Dynasty through her son and grandson. Tetisheri also played the role of adviser and confident to all three kings and evidence of this comes from the funerary buildings and estates dedicated to her by Ahmose I that indicates her status and involvement in events. There is evidence to suggest that she may have acted as regent for her grandson Ahmose after the death of his father and this comes from the Abydos Donation Stela of Ahmose translated by J.H Breasted. Her holding the titles of "King's mother" and "Great King's wife" shows her importance which is further amplified by her wearing the vulture headdress and being the first Queen to do so. According the historians she also played a militaristic role as she supported the rebellion of her son Seqenenre she "spearheaded" the recruitment of troops.

Furthermore, it is important to recognize that hair is with out a doubt the most complex signifier African American women and girls use to display their identities in order to take on situated social meanings, and to understand how and why hair comes to matter so much in a Black women’s construction of their identity. Just as mentioned in Chris Rock’s, Good Hair, in Jacobs-Hueys’ book it is also evident that Black women feel the need to conform their natural state to a more common, typical look. It is through the hair salons, and educational seminars that teach individuals when hair is hair, and alternatively when hair is not just hair. These two seemingly contradictory stances hint at just
[pointment led to Elizabeth’s mother’s beheading when she was just two (Briscoe). She was raised by governesses and tutors, studying with scholars, and educated to the highest standards, learning public speaking, and how to turn the tide of opinion in her favor (Briscoe). Briscoe states that Henry VIII’s sixth wife made sure of this education. This learning was unusual for a young woman of this period; however, she was born into a royal family, creating the means, and likely justification, for her ability to become educated. Therefore, Elizabeth I’s skill, judgment and intuition, which ultimately led to her success, were not so unusual

The Armana period adopted a new style of art, which truly set it apart from more conventional Egyptian art styles we have seen up until that time. Artists began remarkably different stylizations and physical distortions. Sculptures in particular began to stress certain features, such as elongated necks, large ears and lips, protruding hips, which gave a feminine quality even to the portraits of male kings.
One primary way archeologist and historians try to find out more about a civilization’s cultural beliefs and social structure is analyzing its art. When it comes to Paleolithic era, specifically the Homo sapiens of this era, which evolved between 100,000 to 120,000 years ago (Sayre 5), we do not have the luxury of the written word. So we must rely on the sometimes simple yet profound artwork from this era that has been discovered. Although we may never know exactly what purpose each piece of art has, we can draw some very strong conclusions about them. One being that women were held in very high regard and played a crucial role in the Paleolithic era and were often immortalized in its artwork.
This paper compares ancient Egyptian art with ancient Greek art and considers the ways in which the Greeks were influenced by Egyptian art. Egypt established a long and enduring artistic tradition. Greek art drew heavily on that background, using many of the same kinds of subjects and incorporating many similar symbols, but then reinterpreted them through very different eyes and a strikingly different cultural perception. Both visions continue to have a profound impact on artists in modern cultures, from their representation of everyday life to the varied perceptions of the importance and meaning life in general. Catharine Roehrig, Egyptian Art Curator for The Metropolitan Museum of Art, observes, "Egypt's Old Kingdom (Dynasties 3-6, ca.
Hadid's father played an important role in her creative development. He exposed her to many different cultures while always stressing the importance of her heritage. He demonstrated this through his studies at the London School of Economics and participation in the fight for Iraqi independence from foreign occupation. His progressive views on the industrialization of Iraq, housing issues, and the nationalization of the oil production influenced Zaha in her views of the world. Hadid’s childhood experiences encouraged a belief in open communication between different groups of people, but also a strong conviction in Iraqi independence.
