Actually, Mongol women not only traveled with the Army, they had a great deal of power. When Chinnghis Quan's son-in -law Toguchar was killed during the Khwaresm campaign, his widow , the Quan's daughter, supervised her brother's (Tolui?) destruction of the city where he died, including the killing of every human being there.
When Uggedai, Qua Quan died, his widow was regent in his place , and delayed the Quriltai to choose his succesor until her son Guyuk was chosen.Tolui's widow, Sorghatani Beki refused Guyuk's attempts to marry her off, and forged an alliance with Batu Quan of the Golden Horde to not only elect her son Mongke as Qua Quan, but to take that office from the house of Uggedai for the rest of the Mongol Empire's history.
Chinnghis Quan's reliance on his mother Houlun, and his principal wife, Bortai, is quoted at length in the Secret History. I can find no firm documentation that Mongol women rode to battle with the men, however. Considering the structure and discipline of the Mongol Ordu, and its almost continual engagement in warfare, I doubt that they did.
You gonna also tell me that Mongol women drew 160-lb bows?
Has anybody here ever tried to draw an 80 or 90 pound bow?
