What tradition subjugated women to men by forcing them to be kept in the home, often sharing quarters with other wives or concubines?
Harem derives from the Arabic phrase meaning "forbidden place" referring to the part of the home where women were to be kept. Islam viewed it as immodest and inappropriate for women to be in public unescorted, or having their faces or heads uncovered. The other terms listed are also Arabic words relevant to the Islamic faith, but don't refer to the same concept as a harem.

What was the status of Mongol women during the Yuan Dynasty of China?
In Mongolian society, women had several rights related to property ownership and also played roles in the political and martial spheres. Many women were trained as warriors and the wives of several Mongolian leaders, including Chingghis Khan's wife Borte, gave their husbands political advice. They maintained this status during the Yuan period and did not adopt the practice of foot-binding.
