Hatshepsut’s achievements as a powerful queen and then a ruling pharaoh have made her one of the most famous figures in ancient Egypt history. In ancient Egypt, a woman could not become pharaoh. Hatshepsut, as the daughter of one pharaoh and the wife of another, claimed the purest of royal blood and soon declared herself pharaoh.
