Answer 1

Probably the biggest way in which she was traditional was in her building as a form of demonstration of rulership. Hatshepsut, for example, had so many statues built during her reign that it is said that every museum with an Egyptology display has one of her statues in it. She was famous (notorious?) for her propaganda techniques, and in this regard it would seem that she is successful to this very day. No mean feat! The obelisks in front of her monument at the Temple of Karnak were the tallest in the world, and one is still standing even now. A complex of buildings she had constructed at Deir el-Bahri are considered to be among the greatest of the ancient world.

The way in which she was most untraditional was in her holding power at all! While it wasn't TOO unusual for a woman to hold power in ancient Egypt, at least until a young pharoah came of age, she took the unprecedented step of crowning herself, becoming essentially the first female pharoah. She SORT OF tried to fit in - she changed her name to the masculine Hatshepsu. Frankly, I find it surprising that there wasn't more of an outcry. Maybe with the propoganda, the massive projects, and the empire actually doing pretty well, nobody had too much to complain about (except the slaves, of course).
