The Woman Behind the Myth: Saara El-Arifi on Cleopatra

I’m excited to be joined on the show today by guest author, Saara El-Arifi. On this episode we’re going to talk about her new book, Cleopatra. Cleopatra reclaims her story in this sensuous historical epic—revealing a powerful, strategic ruler silenced by myth, misogyny, and history’s willful distortions.

What Saara is Reading:
