Wisdom's Daughter is a fantasy novel by British writer H. Rider Haggard, published in 1923. It is the final published book in the Ayesha series, but it is the first book in the series. The main character of this book, Ayesha, travels through Tibet, India, and Egypt to find the source of eternal wisdom. It is also implied that she was the model for the Aphrodite of Knidos. As the novel's plot develops, Ayesha meets different historical figures of the 4th century BC, including the Pharaohs Nectanebo I and Nectanebo II, Emperor Artaxerxes III, King Tennes of Sidon, Greek mercenary Mentor of Rhodes, and the Persian eunuch Bagoas.

This drama is an artistic reference to the story of the queen Jezebel, wife of Ahab in the bible. It describes Jezebel's quality and queenship, challenges, and difficulties during her reign as a princess in Sidon and queen of Samaria.
