Queen Hatshepsut was renowned for dressing as a male pharaoh and building many temples to leave her mark on history. She worked hard as a woman in a man's world and certainly worked a great deal with Seshat, who would have been her go-to deity for stretching the cord and other rituals. The Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut honors Seshat and dedicates a portion of the temple to celebrating this ritual with Seshat.
The queen can also be seen with Seshat in other locations. This image is from the Red Chapel Queen Hatshepsut in Karnak, which is an open-air museum in Egypt. It is described as a "View of Hatshepsut (Maat-Ka-Ra) in front of goddess Seshat."
Although Hatshepsut most actively worshipped the goddess Hathor, she must have admired Seshat for being the only female scribe in the Egyptian pantheon and one of the only known female scribes in ancient Egypt. There were some female physicians who may have been called scribes so they could write prescriptions but many women in Egypt were not taught to read and write.
Joyce Tisdale, author of Daughters of Isis: Women of Ancient Egypt, points out that writing was considered an impressive skill that few females were skilled at. "Although the only Egyptian woman to be depicted actually putting pen to paper was Seshat, the goddess of writing, several ladies were illustrated in close association with the traditional scribes' writing kit of pallets and brushes. It is certainly beyond doubt that at least some of the daughters of the Kings were educated, and the position of a private tutor to a royal princess could be one of the highest honors."
As it turns out, Hatshepsut's daughter, Princess Neferure, may have been one of those girls who learned to write. Historical records show that Senenmut, Steward of Amen during Hatshepsut's reign, is reported as saying that tutoring the heir to the Queen's throne was a high point in his successful career.
