Did Khutulun and Other Warrior Women Actually Fight in the Mongol Army?

An interesting article from Atlas Obscura:

"From wielding lethal bows to commanding troops, the female soldiers of the Central Asian steppe were formidable foes."

"Under Chinggis Khan, the Mongols forged the largest contiguous land empire ever known. According to some estimates, it stretched a mind-boggling twelve million square miles across Asia, from modern-day Poland to South Korea. The Mongols’ success had everything to do with their riding and archery skills. As one Chinese chronicler put it, “they took possession of the world through this advantage of bow and horse.” It’s also the reason why female warriors could be just as deadly as their male counterparts, says May."
