MATRIARCHS
"Over the past several years, photographer Maria Haas has been researching and
documenting primarily matriarchal societies. In her photography book MATRIARCHS, she
has captured the beauty and charisma of the most diverse matriarchs. She takes her readers
along on a trip to cultures where women occupy a unique position in society. Maria
approaches these women very sensitively and peacefully, thus succeeding in creating
wonderful portraits that document the whole environment and the fascination these foreign
societies have to offer. Allow these images to have an impact on you, because these
powerful women point to ways of life that are very beneficial to the world."
