She reigned for 21 years, from 51 BC to 30 BC.

She committed suicide and used an asp (an Egyptian cobra snake) for the purpose.

5) Cleopatra VII was the last Queen and the last Pharaoh of Egypt.

Following her death, Egypt became a Roman province.

6) Cleopatra had four children, namely Caesarion aka Ptolemy Caesar (son of Julius Caesar) and Alexander Helios,

Cleopatra Selene II and Ptolemy Philadelphus (children of Mark Antony).

7) Whether she was physically beautiful is subject to debate.

Coins of the time depict a woman with a hooked nose and masculine features.

8) Cleopatra was a very intelligent woman, with oodles of charisma and amazing powers of persuasion.


9) Cleopatra was not an Egyptian. Rather, she was a Macedonian Greek who descended from Ptolemy I,

a Greek general of Alexander the Great.
Ptolemy I became the king of Egypt following the death of Alexander.

10) In the entire 300-year old Ptolemaic dynasty, Cleopatra was the only Pharaoh who could speak Egyptian.
Infact, she was the master of nine languages in toto.


11) Cleopatra was one of the seven women named Cleopatra in the dynasty.

This is why she was officially known as Cleopatra VII.

12) Cleopatra was the mistress, and probably the wife, of Julius Caesar.
She was married to Mark Antony, apart from a few of her own brothers.


13) After the death of Caesar, she and Mark Antony fell in love and got married.

15) Mark Antony committed suicide on the battlefield after being misinformed about the death of Cleopatra


16) Shattered after hearing the news of the death of Mark Antony,

she committed suicide by making an asp, an Egyptian cobra,
bite her in the breast. One of the most famous love stories (Antony and Cleopatra),
thus ended tragically. She was then only 39

17) She believed she was the daughter of Egyptian goddess Isis

and the bite of an asp would take her to the gods

18) She had three sisters; two older and one younger.

The eldest was named after her mother Cleopatra V Tryphaena, which means pleasure seeker.
Hence, there were two Cleopatras in the family. They were distinguished by their middle names

19) She married her 12 year old brother Ptolemy XIII, when she was 18.

They ruled together for 4 years before he was drowned.

Introduction to Top 10 Things That Women Invented

Many women have experienced that magical light bulb moment of inspiration. At the end of the 20th century, only 10 percent of all patents were awarded to female inventors [source: Bedi]. When you compile a list of the most famous inventions of the past few centuries, few women will show up as the creators of those items. It's not that women lack ingenuity or a creative spirit, though; it's just that women have faced many hurdles in receiving credit for their ideas. Take the case of Sybilla Masters, a woman who lived in the American colonies. After observing Native American women, she came up with a new way to turn corn into cornmeal. She went to England to obtain a patent for her work, but laws at the time stipulated that women couldn't own property, which included intellectual property like a patent. Such property was considered to be owned by the woman's father or husband. In 1715, a patent for Sybilla Masters' product was issued, but the name on the document is that of her husband, Thomas.

Such property laws prevented many women from acquiring patents for inventions several centuries ago. Women were also less likely to receive a technical education that would help them turn an ingenious idea into an actual product. Many women faced prejudice and ridicule when they sought help from men in actualizing their idea. And some women came up with ideas that would improve life in their households, only to see their inventions treated with scorn for being too domestic and thus unworthy of praise.

Mary Kies was the first American woman to earn a patent in her own name. In 1809, she developed a way of weaving straw into hats that was an economic boon for New England. By receiving that piece of paper with her name on it, Kies led the way for other female inventors to take credit for their ideas. In this article, we'll salute 10 things invented by women.
