This book includes the speeches from the First and Second World Congress on Matriarchal Studies 2003 and 2005. It is an outstanding representation of the intellectual sharing of matriarchal-indigenous and non-indigenous scholars from all over the world in their knowledge on matriarchal societies. There is a wealth of insightful work on past and present matriarchal societies, which makes this book a powerful life-affirming political one.


Since 1988 her major work has been published in three volumes and will be continued:

Das Matriarchat (Matriarchal Societies) 1988,1991, 2000 etc.

It is the result of more than 30 years of her research in this field. It has been published in German and is now translated into English.
