    Hatshepsut's rule, at least from what I read in the book, was a successful and great one. Her reign was long with many achievements.

Therefore she had to overcome many preconceived notions about women in power that were constructed by generations of male pharaohs before her. Despite many obstacles, like an eradication attempt, Hatshepsut altered the social standards regarding women in Ancient Egyptian society. In doing so, she proved that women could be self-sufficient and fully functioning leaders, gave divine legitimacy to their rules, and carved a path for future female rulers throughout the world.
