The first female pharaoh that we know of was queen Sobeknefru.

It is a common misconception that Hatshepsut was the first female pharaoh. Historians know now that there were female pharaohs before her.

Merythneith is probably the oldest, about 5000 years ago. She was buried with the honors of a ruling pharaoh, but there is no conclusive evidence that she had exactly the same status or was a regent. Though she may have started out as regent and then continued as a monarch.

Hatseputh was pharaoh in her own right and a military leader.
