She was flexible/adaptable. This reason supports the thesis because she adapted to her environment in Egypt. She also adapted to the many deaths of her relatives. Such as her father, mother, and husband. Lastly, she adapted to her own ruling.

She was very respectful. For instance, she respected the other women's rights in Egypt. Also, she extended trade and over saw ambitious building projects. Lastly, she was a respectful regant of the Baby Pharaoh Thutmose III.

Finally, she was very open-minded. She was open-minded to the people of Egypt and their ideas of economy. Also, she was always willing to listen to and hear an opposing or contradictory view. Finally, she would allow her people to construct their own ideas.

In conclusion, Queen Hatshepsut is the best leader. she is the best leader because she was flexible/adaptable, she was respectful, and lastly she was open-minded. Remember, "Behind every successful women is herself."

Early Life

  • Hatshepsut was born 1508 B.C..
  • She was the only child born to the Egyptian King Thutmose I by his principal wife, Ahmose, Hatshepsut was expected to be queen.
  • After her father died she married her half-brother Thutmose II whose mother was a lesser wife-- a common practice meant to ensure the purity of the royal bloodline.
  • Hatshepsut assumed the traditional role of queen and principal wife.

Death and Legacy

  • Queen Hatshepsut died in February of 1458 B.C.
  • Scientists have speculated the cause of her death to be related to an ointment or salve used to alleviate a chronic genetic skin condition.
  • Testing of artifacts near her tomb have revealed traces of of a carcinogenic substance
  • Thutmose II began a campaign to eradicate Hatshepsut's memory: he destroyed her monuments, erased many of her inscriptions, and constructed a wall around her obelisks.
  • After her death the egyptians, who were deeply conservative people, obliterated her memory so later pharohs such as Ramses II and Cleopatra would have been ignorant of her existence.

During Rule

  • Under Hatshepsut's reign, Egypt prospered.
  • She was more interested in ensuring economic prosperity, building and restoring monuments throughout Egypt and Nubia than in conquering new lands.
  • Hatshepsut also had one notable trading expedition to the land of Punt in the ninth year of her reign. The ships returned with gold, ivory and myrrh trees, and the scene was immortalized on the walls of the temple.
  • She only had a daughter, Neferure and the male heir was an infant, born to a concubine named Isis.
  • Since Thutmose III was too young to assume the throne unaided, Hatshepsut served as his regent.
  • Thutmose the III was never deposed and was considered co-ruler throughout her life, but it is clear that Hatshepsut was the principal ruler in power.
  • She began having herself depicted in the traditional king’s kilt and crown, along with a fake beard and male body. This was not an attempt to trick people into thinking she was male; rather, since there were no words or images to portray a woman with this status, it was a way of asserting her authority
  • Hatshepsut’s successful transition from queen to pharaoh was, in part, due to her ability to recruit influential supporters, and many of the men she chose had been favored officials of her father, Thutmose I.

  • She was open-minded to the people of Egypt and their ideas of economy.
  • She was always willing to listen to and hear an opposing or contradictory view.
  • She would allow some of her people to construct their own ideas.
