Where do you get your family name? Most of us have the same family name as our fathers. In some societies, however, both family names and property(财产)are passed down from mother to daughter. They are called matriarchal societies(母系社会). Here are some of them.
Mosuo, China
About 50, 000 people live in Mosuo. Women there don’t have husbands. Even if a woman chooses to have a partner, she won’t live with the man.Children often don’t know who their father is. In fact, there is no word for husband or father in this society.
Bribri, Costa Rica
Bribri is made up of about 12, 000 people. As an old story there goes, the gods turned a woman into a cacao tree(可可树).Therefore, only women can prepare the cacao drink for ceremonies(仪式). They are seen as more sacred(神圣的)than men.
Minangkabau, Indonesia
In the 1300s, the king of Minangkabau died. He left behind three wives with three baby sons. His first wife ruled the people because her son was too young. Since then, this place has gradually become the largest matrilineal society in the world. It now has more than four million members.
