She wed prince Sengge, son of Erdeni Batur, regarded as the founder of the Dzungar Khanate.

''The'' () is a grammatical article in English, denoting persons or things already mentioned, under discussion, implied or otherwise presumed familiar to listeners, readers, or speakers.

Women Warriors In Literature And Culture
The portrayal of women warriors in literature and popular culture is a subject of study in history, literary studies, film studies, folklore history, and mythology. The archetypal figure of the woman warrior is an example of a normal thing that happens in some cultures, while also being a counter stereotype, opposing the normal construction of war, violence and aggression as masculine. This convention-defying position makes the female warrior a prominent site of investigation for discourses surrounding female power and gender roles in society. Folklore and mythology Greek legends of the Amazons The Amazons were an entire tribe of woman warriors in Greek legend. The earliest known recording of the Amazons can be found in Homer's epic poem the ''Iliad'', in which Homer described them as Amazon ''antianeirai'', a term with multiple translations including "the equal of men." "Amazon" has become an eponym for woman warriors and athletes in both modern and ancient society. In Br ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
