Matriarchy
Matriarchy is a term, which is applied to form of society, in which the leading role is with the female and especially with the mothers of a community. Some authors consider it as hypothetical form of human society. There exist many matriarchal animal societies including beeselephants, and killer whales. The word matriarchy is coined as the opposite of Patriarchy, from Greek  "mother" and "to rule". When related to humans, the term literally meaning "wife's rule", (), is sometimes used synonymously.
