	'''Matriarchy''' is a form of society in which women ~~hold~~ the power~~. Distinct from ''~~[[~~matrilineality~~]]~~'' (families trace their lineage through the maternal side) and ''[[matrilocality]]'' (men are exogamous, moving to women's households on marriage)~~.		'''Matriarchy''' is a form of society in which women are the dominant sex/gender, holding power over men; it is contrasted with [[patriarchy]].

	==~~Relevant SFnal works~~==		==Comparison==
	~~In general~~, ~~please do not include~~ [[woman-only worlds]] ~~in matriarchies. Every all-woman world with any government~~ is ~~necessarily a~~ matriarchy.		* Contrast with ''[[patriarchy]]'', in which men are the dominant sex/gender, holding power over women.
			* Distinguish from ''[[matrilineality]]'', in which families trace their lineage through the maternal side.
			* Distinguish from ''[[matrilocality]]'', in which men are exogamous, moving to women's households on marriage.
			* Compare to ''[[woman-only worlds]]'', which are "matriarchal" by definition, since there are no men; however, it is less meaningful to class these worlds/works along the matriarchy/patriarchy binary.

	~~Note: Not all works representing matriarchies are [[feminist]]; some are quite sexist.~~
