El Qutlugh Khatun (Persian: ايلقتلغ; fl. 1323) was the daughter of Abaqa Khan (r. 1265–82), the second Mongol ruler of the Ilkhanate. Her story, included in Khalīl ibn Aybeg al-Ṣafadī's (around 1297-1363) bibliographic dictionary, sheds light on changing gender norms during the widespread conversion in the Ilkhanate to Islam.[1] Her story also depicts the status of women during the period.[2]
