Question

The term __________ refers to a hierarchical system of social organization in which cultural, political, and economic structures are controlled by women. Few, if any, societies have been organized in this way

Answer 1

Answer:    Matriarchy

Explanation:  The system of social, cultural and any other type of women-dominated organization, i.e. everything is controlled by women, is a matriarchy. An example of matriarchy can also be at the level of a family or a group where the elderly woman has control over other members. This implies that the woman is superior, more capable than other members. One example of matriarchy is Umoja in Kenya, where the presence of men is banned.
