A review of the Hatshepsut exhibtion, with a much better than average concise summary of what is known about Hathsepsut: "Uncovering the story of Hatshepsut's reign is the subject of an exhibition at the new de Young Museum in San Francisco. . . . . According to Renee Dreyfus, Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco Curator of Ancient Art and Interpretation, Hatshepsut has variously been written of as a usurper, a saintly model of self-reliance and empowerment, or a passive vessel who relied on her courtiers to keep her in power. She initiated an ambitious trading expedition to the land of Punt, thought to be modern-day Somalia, and brought back luxury items such as myrrh, incense, ebony, ivory and gold. Hatshepsut embarked on military campaigns to quell insurrections along Egyptian borders. She also undertook a program of restoring the monuments of past kings and building new temples dedicated to the gods".
