Of your two links, the one I've attached below (the
globalist.com one) has better information on this topic. Basically, according to this
article, Mongol women pretty much ran things in the Mongol "homeland" while the men were
off conquering various other areas. As the link says
women managed the affairs at home, while men went
off to herd, hunt or
fight.
According to that
article, this traditional state of affairs gave women a huge amount of power as the
Mongols started to dominate a larger area. The men would be off for much longer periods
of time and so the women had to do more and more of the ruling of the home Mongol
territory.
