When Women Rule (anthology)

When Women Rule is a 1972 anthology of stories about matriarchal societies, edited by Sam Moskowitz.

This anthology is not a feminist anthology; rather, Moskowitz does a survey of different types of matriarchal societies, including explicitly anti-feminist societies. He has a nice introduction surveying even more literature. - lq, 9/6/99
