The Secret History of the Mongol Queens: How the Daughters of Genghis Khan Rescued His Empire by Jack Weatherford

Everyone has heard of Genghis Khan and some have heard of his sons. However, so few have heard of his daughters and it is them who held part of Khan's empire together. Why is this? Author Jack Weatherford divulges how an act toward the end of the thirteenth century literally removed the history of these remarkable women. With impressive research, Weatherford brings these women back to life and shares their impressive accomplishments. 

Those with an interest in the Mongol Empire, how women fit into the Mongol Empire, or how women fit into (or out of) history in general should pick up this immensely fascinating book.
