What makes Hatshepsut unique among Egyptian pharaohs?

Hatshepsut is unique because she was one of the few women to assume the role of pharaoh, a title traditionally reserved for males. To bolster her legitimacy, she adopted the full titles and regalia of a king, including a false beard, and often depicted herself in male attire in statues and sculptures.
