How did women contribute to the rise of the Mongol Empire while Mongol men were conquering Eurasia? This book positions women in their rightful place in the otherwise well-known story of Chinggis Khan (commonly known as Genghis Khan) and his conquests and empire. Examining the best known women of Mongol society, such as Chinggis Khan's mother, Hö'elün, and senior wife, Börte, as well as those who were less famous but equally influential, including his daughters and his conquered wives, we see the systematic and essential participation of women in empire, politics and war. Anne F. Broadbridge also proposes a new vision of Chinggis Khan's well-known atomized army by situating his daughters and their husbands at the heart of his army reforms, looks at women's key roles in Mongol politics and succession, and charts the ways the descendants of Chinggis Khan's daughters dominated the Khanates that emerged after the breakup of the Empire in the 1260s.

Editorial Reviews

Review

'Women and the Making of the Mongol Empire shall become one of the main reference books not only for the history of Mongol women, but of Mongol empire as a whole. Its analysis of the role of women, especially during the formation and the decades of the united Mongol Empire, is of special relevance for anyone interested in this period. Anne F. Broadbridge has managed to succeed in the always difficult task of combining a solid research with an accessible language that will certainly make this read appealing to scholars and students alike.' Bruno De Nicola, Goldsmiths College, University of London

'A brilliant addition and timely corrective to the study of the Mongol Empire. Professor Broadbridge has produced an exciting and unique contribution to the scholarship of the Mongol Empire which will forever change our understanding of the Mongol elite.' Timothy May, University of North Georgia

'This book is far more than a gendered history of the Mongol Empire. By exploring the highly complex place of women and marriage in imperial politics, it helps to make sense of the alignments within the imperial dynasty and the actions and policies of Mongol khans and princes.' Peter Jackson, Keele University

'In this intelligent and original book, Anne F. Broadbridge has carried the study of women in the Mongol Empire to a new level, and has made an important contribution to our understanding of the Mongol Empire as a whole. The analysis goes well beyond the lives and activities of the most prominent Mongol women to show how dynastic marriages shaped central military institutions and brought manpower into the Mongol enterprise. In examining the family strategies of both privileged and secondary wives, Broadbridge sheds much new light on the difficult and disputed question of tribes within Mongol society, and will be a valuable resource for all future work. Finally, in her fascinating chapters on conquered women, she investigates the emotional and social lives of a group of women who have until now been largely overlooked, but nonetheless played an important part in Mongol history. This work thus offers important new insights on the formation of the Mongol Empire and its successor states.' Beatrice Manz, Tufts University, Massachusetts

'Broadbridge’s richly detailed book makes a valuable contribution to this debate by clarifying the roles played by Chinggisid women, both before the Mongol conquest of China and after the establishment of the Yuan dynasty.' Bret Hinsch, NAN NÜ

'… Broadbridge’s book is impeccably researched. It is a welcome addition to the field of Mongol Empire history. For many decades to come, students will be turning to Women and the Making of the Mongol Empire for a comprehensive and thoughtful account of why and how women mattered to the Mongols and their empire.' Jinping Wang, American Historical Review

‘Broadbridge’s book will be a bonanza of information for future anthropologists, women’s studies scholars, and sociologists. Scholars in Mongolia, China, the Middle East, and Russia will find her work engaging and invaluable. Hers is and will remain the best pioneering work on the subject. Broadbridge, more than any other scholar, has laid the groundwork for what will follow.’ David Curtis Wright, Journal of Interdisciplinary History

Book Description

A wide-ranging study of the critical roles that women played in the history of the Mongol conquests and empire.

  • Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2024
    It was an assigned book for my Mongol Conquests class, and it was a fascinating read. My initial thought was that it might be boring, but it happened to be one of my favorite books assigned that semester.
  • Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2019
    Most historians acknowledge in passing that medieval Mongol women had more rights and freedom than their sisters in sedentary societies, but go no further. This book delves deeply into that truism, drawing out the tribal- and family-driven alliances and conflicts between Mongol queens in various branches of Genghisid family and demonstrating how they shaped imperial succession and policy. Thoroughly sourced and carefully explained analysis throughout.
