    Hatshepsut (1479-1458 BCE) was the first female ruler of ancient Egypt to reign as a male with the full authority of pharaoh. In statuary and reliefs she was depicted as female until around her seventh year of reign when she chose to be depicted in the form of a man. Some would say she was the first female ruler but on the contrary there were many before her. She is said to have been the best female ruler, after Cleopatra VII, and one of the most successful monarchs in Egyptian history. It is astounding that in her time no woman was allowed the power that she had. There is still controversy because she was so successful in her rule. After her death most evidence of her ruling was erased. Some think it was because of her stepson, Thutmose…

    Hatshepsut was 12 when she married her half brother, Thutmose II. She got married because her father, Thutmose I, who was the Pharaoh of Egypt (circa. 1500 B.C.), had died. Thutmose II inherited the throne from Thutmose I. Thutmose II was the son of Thutmose I, like Hatshepsut, but not her full brother, because he was born to one of her father’s (Thutmose I’s) other wives. This was normal in ancient Egypt, as they had to keep the royal blood in the line of the throne. Thutmose II ruled for 15 years, until his death in 1479 B.C. After his death, Hatshepsut became the acting pharaoh. Hatshepsut was the first female leader with full powers of a male pharaoh, and is considered by many to be one of the best.…
