Quotation
Here is an instance from the book that shows great description of why this woman felt she was worthy of the throne of Egypt. "Hatshepsut's relationship with Amun was always extremely important to her and throughout her reign she took every available opportunity to give due acknowledgement to her heavenly father. By promoting the cult of Amun, she was effectively reinforcing her own position and promoting herself. - from Hatchepsut By Joyce Tydsley

Biographical
Hatshepsut (1504?-1458 BC; sometimes spelled Hapshepsut) was a female Pharaoh of Egypt in the 18th dynasty. She ruled from 1473 to 1458 BC. Ostensibly regent for Thutmose III of Egypt, she gradually assumed power for herself. Along with it, she assumed the male trappings of power, wearing the male clothing and even false beard of the Pharaohs and having herself addressed by the male titles. She was a hands-on ruler, leading a successful military campaign in Nubia and traveling on a rich trading mission in Punt, Africa.
