Without the daughters of Genghis Khan, there would have been no Mongol Empire. Four women ruled over North, South, East, and West, in what would become the largest land empire in the history of the world.

Join us with eminent Mongol scholar Jack Weatherford, who went searching for the missing story... and found it.
