Scholars think it shows that she "was a powerful figure in the ancient world who conducted business independent of her husband." Wow, like, the first feminist or something! Like all early feminists, she was "perceived as a threat and foreign idol worshipper, accused of prostitution, murder and sorcery, and tossed from her window to be ravaged by dogs." Well, I mean, at least the "perceived as a threat" thing is true. [MSNBC]
