Matrilineal society
The Militant recently ran an excerpt from [Frederick] Engels’ explanation of the overthrow of matriarchal society and the origins of the oppression of women. Militant readers might be interested in a fascinating firsthand, autobiographical account by a woman who grew up in a matrilinear society—in the Himalayas—where the mother right still prevailed: Leaving Mother Lake: A Girlhood at the End of the World by Yang Erche Namu and Christine Mathieu.
