For Shakespeare, for historians, for the general public...
In 2020 why are we still slut shaming Cleopatra? She was a great ruler, she kept Egypt’s economy stable, was liberal with her sexuality, gave to the poor when needed. Cleopatra was an influential woman way ahead of her time, why do historians still bring up Julius Ceasar and Mark Antony as her biggest achievements? She was a ruler of Ancient Egypt! How much more badass can you be!
