Steppe women had a greater participation than their settled sisters in politics, war and daily work. With Women and the Making of the Mongol
A book to keep an eye out for. Mongolian women during the imperial period have not received the scholarly attention many other areas of the empire have. When they are discussed, it is generally in the form of anecdotes, or in the case of Jack Weatherford's "The Secret History of the Mongol Queens," the coverage is not rigourous or thorough. I'll have to see if I can get a copy of this: Broadbridge is a great scholar and this will be a great addition.
