Annotations

This source will be helpful to revise the historical section by region of the article. It has sections that discuss matriarchal cultures, but most of it discusses queens and female rulers, so not all of it is relevant. Once I receive my book source from Lauinger, I might be able to strike this source as I imagine the book will have a more fleshed out historical section.
I plan to use this source to add information for the 20-21st century section. This is one of the few and biggest matriarchies still thriving today, and it is currently not even mentioned in the article.
This source provides a historical overview from one matriarchy to another all the way through present day. Although it is brief, it is a helpful source as it provides scholarly insight on what communities are the most notable.
This source is powerful as it examines the way traditional historical texts muted the voices of the Minangkabau matriarchal society. Other than this source, most historical sources on this culture were written by outsider white men in the 20th century. One of my goals of this project was to provide sources not from the voice of the coloniser, and I think this source accomplishes that task.
This source shares an inside look at the present day Umoja village. I especially like that it speaks directly with the residents of the village and allows them to express their history and lifestyle directly.
This book provides a historical overview of the topic. However, I’m waiting for it to be available from the library so I’ll be able to examine it further.
This is another interview with the Umoja people of Kenya. It provides the first person account of a young female resident, so this will help in my goal of providing more direct information from women of the cultures as opposed to outsiders.
This source shares a modern day explanation of the Mosou people along with interviews and narratives from the women themselves. I plan to use this to write about the Mosou people in the 20-21st century section that I will be developing.
This is another source on the Mosou people. I will use this to work on both the historical and 20-21st century section.
This provides an overview and summary of important matriarchal societies in history from the perspective of someone who studies gender. It will be helpful in editing the historical section of the wikipedia page.
