Güljamal

Güljamal Khanum (1836 – 1919) was a Teke tribal leader. She was the last independent Turkmen leader.

The identity of Güljamal's first husband is unknown. The widowed Güljamal became the third wife of Nurberdy Khan, a Teke leader of the tribes around Akhal and Merv. She became a trusted advisor to her husband, a leader of the resistance to Russia's military incursion. Upon his death in April 1880, she assumed tribal leadership.

In 1884, she organized a gengesh which brought an end to conflict with Russia and accepted Russian control of Turkmen tribal lands.

She had a son with Nurberdy, Yusuf Khan. She was stepmother to Nurberdy's two sons, one of whom was Makhtum Quli Khan Nur-Berdy-Khanov.
