The Roman senate was an unelected body and it was an advisory body, not a legislative one like modern senates. It members came from the patrician aristocracy and the equites, which were an entrepreneurial elite which was like a lower tier of the aristocracy.

Caesar Augustus was the first emperor of Rome. Before him, Rome was ruled by the Senate. However, the Senate had less and less power in the waning days of the Republic. Before Caesar Augustus became emperor in 27 BC, he was part of a triumvirate with M. Lepidus and M. Antonius. The Senate was still nominally leading Rome. Before that Julius Caesar held a lot of power before his assassination in 44 BC. But again, supposedly the Senate was still leading Rome.
Ancient Rome
The term "senate" comes from the ancient government of Rome.
Roman women had rights just about equal to men, but they still lived in a male dominated world. For example, a woman could not vote or run for public office. A woman, although she had the right to divorce, still had to have a male relative or guardian make the arrangements. A woman could only inherit a minimal amount from her husband or father. A woman could not join the army. Despite these restrictions, the Roman women had more equality with men than many of their ancient counterparts.

No one brought Cleopatra to Rome. She came on her own for political purposes. It is thought that Cleo made two trips to Rome, the first one trying to get the senate to recognize her as queen and ally of Rome, and the second time to keep close to the negotiations that were being held in the senate regarding a reorganization of some provinces, in particular, the future of Cyprus.
