What role did Sorghaghtani Beki play?Please use these links to answer http://www.mongolia-attractions.com/ancient-mongol-women.html...

According to the link (the mongolia-attractions one) that
I have attached below, this woman was the daughter in law of Genghis Khan and the mother
of Kublai Khan.  She played a very important role in preparing her sons for the
leadership roles that she expected them to take on in the Mongol
Empire.

Sorghagtani Beki believed that her sons were going
to be ruling a large empire.  Because she thought this, she wanted to make sure that
they would be competent to be rulers.  To help them become competent, she made sure, for
example, that they became well educated even though she herself was illiterate.  She
also made sure that they were trained in specific ways or to have specific attitudes
that would help them later in life.

So, overall, her role
was to really guide her sons and to prepare them to be powerful men in the Mongol
Empire.
