History is a compass of the feminists. Look at the right women to change the wave of Feminism.

It all started with a story….

It all started with a story….

Cleopatra gracefully rolled out of a rug and walked up to Julius Ceasar after entering his private chambers without permission. It started as simple as that. Unfolding into one of the greatest dramas of romance, treachery, betrayal and murder. The story of how an Egyptian Queen used her seduction and feminine gifts to enrapture the two most powerful men in Rome — Julius Ceasar and Mark Antony.

The torrid affair of the Egyptian Queen created a love triangle that brought down Rome to its knees. And she was forever remembered as the wicked seductress. There are few accounts of Cleopatra. Some historians worship her for her benevolence, strength and assiduity. A female Pharoah who alleviated the pains of her people, uplifting them from bankruptcy, debts and famines. Yet others remember her for her wicked and sly nature. A woman who used her sexuality to destroy the Roman Empire.

This woman is revered for her beauty even though we did not know what she looked like.
