Hatshepsut: The Female Pharaoh
Egyptian women played an important role in history. ... One woman changed this, her name was Hatshepsut. Not only was Hatshepsut the first female Pharaoh, she was a self proclaimed Pharaoh and ruled for over 15 years. ...
Hatshepsut was the daughter of Thuthmosis I . ... During Tuthmosis’s short rule, it has been thought that Hatshepsut was truly the one in command. Hatshepsut did not bear any male descendants with her brother and husband Tuthmosis II; however Tuthmosis II did bear a child with a commoner. ... After Tuthmosis II’s death, Tuthmosis III was in line to take the throne, however, since he was just a young child, Hatshepsut acted as queen.
As Tuthmosis III neared manhood, Hatshepsut decided to declare herself Pharaoh. Since a woman had never been a Pharaoh before, Hatshepsut realized that the matter had to be addressed not with a declaration of power, but a slow transition in which the people would come to accept her as Pharaoh.
