 THE FEMALE PHARAOH, HATSHEPSUT   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Hatshepsut (1473-1458 BC) was married to her half brother Thutmose II perhaps in order to strengthen his claim to the throne, and they had a daughter together called Neferure.
Monuments of Hatshepsut frequently portray her in kingly costume and the famous royal "false beard", often referring to her as though she were male (probably in accordance with the accepted decorum of kingship).

  HATSHEPSUT: WICKED STEPMOTHER OR JOAN OF ARC?
As the chief queen of Tuthmose II and holder of the foremost female religious office of god's wife of Amun, Hatshepsut in her earliest portrayals was depicted in the typical costume of the royal consort, wearing a long dress and adorned with the vulture headdress or plumed platform crown.
Hatshepsut is not mentioned, and surely in ordinary documents of the time the scribes and administrative offices continued to observe the time-honored rule of dating according to the nominal king.
It is not impossible that Hatshepsut's experimentation with iconography was prompted by the necessity of effective rule during a prolonged regency, and that the strictures of functioning solely as a queen were inconsistent with that role.
