One of the things about Hatshepsut's life that called my attention, was that she adopted the full pharaonic regalia, including a false beard. Which, as you can imagine, was traditionally worn only by the king. No, I didn't see any image of her with the beard.
During Hatshepsut's reign, the empire experienced an innovation and commercial expansion. The products of these new tributes and trades were devoted to Amon-re (the god of gods), in whose honor Hatshepsut undertook an extensive building program. But Hatshepsut will always be remembered for this mortuary temple at Dayr al-Bahri.
