Hatshepsut became Pharaoh of Egypt primarily due to her unique position as the daughter of Thutmose I and the widow of Thutmose II, allowing her to claim the throne through both bloodline and marriage. After her husband's death, she initially served as regent for her stepson, Thutmose III, but eventually declared herself Pharaoh, adopting male titles and imagery to assert her authority. Her reign was marked by significant economic prosperity and monumental building projects, which further solidified her legitimacy as a ruler. Hatshepsut's successful rule challenged traditional gender roles in ancient Egypt, enabling her to maintain power in a predominantly male-dominated society.
