Ep70. Mongol Mavens & The Queen of Afghanistan

This week the ladies are on the same wavelength and covering royal women over some mind blowing home-made wine! First, Kelley covers Alakhai Bekhi, Genghis Khan's daughter who became queen and prevented her dad from murdering an entire city. Kelley also covers Töregene Khatun who rose from slavery to become Empress of the Mongols and making her (probs definitely) female lover a Queen in her own right. Then, Emily share the tale of Queen Soraya Tarzi who worked with her husband, King Amanullah to bring Afghanistan into the modern age and how it all went wrong. Don't let anyone dim your crown, because it's time to wine about herstory!  ** Mornings with u by Barradeen | https://soundcloud.com/barradeenMusic promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unportedhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/deed.en_US      Support the show10% Off Your First Month of BetterHelp: betterhelp.com/herstory www.buymeacoffee.com/wahpod Join the Funerary Cult: https://www.patreon.com/winingaboutherstorySponsor a Glass of Wine: https://buymeacoffee.com/wahpodGet Merch: https://wining-about-herstory.myspreadshop.com/  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
