Best Answer

Queen Hatshepsut was the first woman pharaoh in Egypt. She reigned from 1473 to 1458 BCE. Her stepson, Tuthmosis III, was technically pharaoh, but he was too young to really do anything. Since she was the first woman pharaoh, she wore a fake beard so people would still listen to her. She worried that if they knew she was a girl, they wouldn't respect her as much.
