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).

Relevant SFnal works

Please do not include woman-only worlds in matriarchies. Every all-woman world with any government is necessarily a matriarchy.

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