matriarchy  

Définition(s)

  • Matriarchy is a term we use with two main meanings: (1) domination by female members of society and (2)women-centeredness in society (such as in descent, place of residence, economy, politics, religion, family). Scholars who use the term in the second sense stress that the concept of matriarchy does not parallel the concept of patriarchy (domination by male members of a society) insofar as the patriarchal domination structure does not exist in a matriarchal society.
