Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The identification of matriarchal societies has been obscured by the application of Western ideas about power. The social sciences have primarily been dominated by Western perspectives and ideas about power, which have made it difficult to identify and acknowledge matriarchal societies. This has led to a limited understanding of these societies and why they have been overlooked in the past.
