A matriarchy is a society in which females, especially mothers, have the central roles of political leadership, moral authority, and control of property. It is also sometimes called a gynocracy, a gynecocracy or a gynocentric society. The male equivalent is a patriarchy.
Most anthropologists hold that there are no known societies that are unambiguously matriarchal, but possible exceptions include the Iroquois, in whose society mothers exercise central moral and political roles. However, this reluctance to accept the existence of matriarchies might be based on a specific, culturally biased notion of how to define 'matriarchy': because in a patriarchy 'men rule over women', a matriarchy has frequently been conceptualized as 'women ruling over men', whereas in reality women-centered societies are - apparently without exception - egalitarian.
There are also matrilinear, matrilocal, and avunculocal societies, especially among indigenous peoples of Asia and Africa, such as those of the Minangkabau, E De (Rhade), Mosuo, Berbers and Tuareg and, in Europe, e.g., Sardinian people.

Some more than others,
Some and before there even born,
Aileen Wuornos was my name.
[Chorus:]
This was my case,
I never wanted it that way,
I suffered so badly,
I was really struggling to survive,
Unconsciously, I led you to any obscure path of death,
I killed were the bodies won´t leave any trace.
Memories and images around my mind,
And my evil just happens to come out,
Cause the actions that led me to this day are
The tastes of Vengeance that poisons my veins.
Thank you.
You will probably see,
I´ll be up in heaven,
While you´re rotting in hell!
And where is justice now?
[Chorus]
His body, pushing me over (and over again),
