Best Answer

Hatshepsut was the first female ruler of all time. Her husband, the Pharaoh, died when their son was still too young to reign. She governed in his place for a while. Her position as substitute ruler evolved until she eventually received the title of Pharaoh.

From thinkquest: King (Queen) Hatshepsut was born around 1500 B.C. and was king of the XVIII (18th) Dynasty. Hatshepsut ruled Egypt around the years of 1479B.C.- 1458B.C. Hatshepsut's father's name was Tuthmose I who had a son named Tuthmose II which was Hatshepsut's half brother whom she had to marry. When she married him he got crowned King of Egypt. When Tuthmose II died, his child Tuthmose III (from another wife) had to have Hatshepsut be his guardian to watch over him at the throne. They ruled together until 1473 B.C., when she declared herself pharaoh.
