In a mist-shrouded valley on China's invisible border with Tibet is
a place known as the "Kingdom of Women," where a small tribe called
the Mosuo lives in a cluster of villages that have changed little
in centuries. In a mist-shrouded valley on China's invisible border
with Tibet is a place known as the "Kingdom of Women," where a
small tribe called the Mosuo lives in a cluster of villages that
have changed little in centuries. This is one of the last
matrilineal societies on earth, where power lies in the hands of
women. All decisions and rights related to money, property, land
and the children born to them rest with the Mosuo women, who live
completely independently of husbands, fathers and brothers, with
the grandmother as the head of each family. A unique practice is
also enshrined in Mosuo tradition--that of "walking marriage,"
where women choose their own lovers from men within the tribe but
are beholden to none.
