matriarchal
A matriarchal system, society, or group is one in which women, especially mothers, hold primary positions of power, authority, and social privilege. It typically entails female lineage or descent rights, female inheritance of property, and leadership by women. It often signifies a society in which power and decision-making are largely controlled by women, contrary to the more common patriarchal systems.
