Does matriarchy mean rule by women? Absolutely not! The collection of photographs “Matriarchs” answers this question and offers fascinating insights into this egalitarian form of society that operates according to the principles of solidarity, equality, the common good and consensus.
Photographer Maria Haas visited matriarchal groups in China, India and Indonesia and documented her insights and impressions in this book of photographs. In this volume, she presents stunning and highly authentic portraits of the families and strong women at the heart of these peaceful societies.
