Women were supposed to make food and wash the clothing and take care of the animals. This way the men didn't have to take care of the house and just needed to hunt or fight.

The Mongolian women could fight also. One famous woman wrestled 10 men who each wanted to marry her. Each time they wrestled, she won 100 horses. After she wrestled all of the men, she had 1,000 horses and never got married.

If she did get married to one of the guys and there marrige didn't go well, she could divorce them.
