Summary/Abstract: Both in pre-Islamic and post-Islamic periods, the position of women in Turkish society has always been at the highest level. In Turkish society, the woman is the head of the family after the man, the guardian of the children and also the inheritor in case the man dies. Women are not only active in family life. At the same time, the state has always had the right to speak. There are hundreds of examples of the active status of women in the state in the Huns, Göktürk, Uighurs and other Turkish communities. After the adoption of Islam, there was no change in the position of women in Turkish states. In the Great Seljuk State, women maintained this strong position. We see the active roles of Seljuk dynasty women both in the domestic and foreign policy of the state. In this study, the influence of the dynastic women belonging to the Great Seljuk State in the foreign policy of the state will be explained.
