Hatshepsut (c. 1479 BCE) is perhaps one of the best known female pharaohs of ancient Egypt. She ushered in an age of economic growth, peace, and prosperity for Egypt under her rule after originally ruling as a regent for her stepson Thutmosis III when he was a child, before assuming the full title of pharaoh.
