Matriarchy has been both marginalized, and even derided, as an object of study albeit consistently referred to as a symbol of female power. The lack of serious engagement with matriarchy has stifled critical inquiry into alternative ways of organizing gendered power, and this gap is that this book seeks to address. Re-examining matriarchy from a scientific and interdisciplinary perspective, this book aims to move beyond the simplistic binaries of male vs. female power through diverse enquiries into the concept of matriarchy that conceptualizes power not as domination, but as interconnection, nurturing, and community-oriented leadership. Through this approach, the contributions examine the emancipatory possibilities of matriarchy, while also acknowledging the limitations and challenges that come with it.
An interdisciplinary approach having international scope, this work will appeal to postgraduate students and academic researchers of Sociology, Anthropology, History, Art History, Asian Studies, American Studies, African American and Africana Studies, Women's Studies, Gender Studies, and Law.

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
