Description
That the Amazons have long been extinct? Nonsense. Welcome to societies where women hold the upper hand! This imaginative travelogue will take you to four very unusual cultures. You will meet Mexican Indian women who surpass their men not only in intelligence but also in size. In Indonesia, you will explore the only Muslim matriarchy. High in the Chinese Himalayas, you will visit the most romantic ethnic group in the world. And finally, in northeastern India, you will get to know an unassuming tribe whose men are desperately fighting for equality. The goal of the journey: do women really rule somewhere? The authors spent two to three months in each location, sketching local people, recording their stories, and reading historical and ethnographic studies. The result is this fresh, original book that transcends the travelogue genre and will captivate even the most hardened male chauvinists.
