World Leaders: Hatshepsut

World Leaders: An important distinction in #HerStory is an emphasis on leading over ruling and the way women often inspire their people, rather than inspiring fear. Our World Leaders palette showcases the Compassion, Wisdom, and Strength these women wield, their Regal bearing, and the (sometimes) quiet Resolve that shaped their nations, in bold, warm shades of coral, red, fuchsia and violet.

Hatshepsut (Resolve - Strength - Wisdom) -? Reigning as Egypt?s second female pharaoh was the only distinction where Hatshepsut placed second. Claiming her divine right to rule from the god Amun himself, she cleverly negotiated the fear of women rulers, and by the seventh year of her reign was regarded as King in her own right. Over 21 years she led her people in trade expeditions, hundreds of architectural developments (that imitators would claim as their own), and unified feuding regions. Her colors are an intense variegated coral to fuchsia.
