The Matriarchy has an "open borders" policy, so those who don't like it are free to leave. About a generation in, some of the really strict laws (for example, men originally were not allowed to own or inherit property) were relaxed when too many men started emigrating. But there was a plot and an attempted coup, and the exiled losers resettled Westmarch. And there's the chronic shortage of men… like I said, I could fill several blog posts just with stuff about the social structure and the effects it's had.<br /><br />Thanks, Patricia!Larry Kollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317037795075278427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-89819810303959552572014-04-19T20:22:41.011-04:002014-04-19T20:22:41.011-04:00Sounds like another interesting place.Sounds like another interesting place.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-89708217937479151762014-04-19T18:14:54.898-04:002014-04-19T18:14:54.898-04:00Men don't like the matriarchy's social str...Men don't like the matriarchy's social structure?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-7952491867863533272014-04-19T10:59:26.245-04:002014-04-19T10:59:26.245-04:00I've been reading through this off and on (the...I've been reading through this off and on (the A-Z challenge kind of overwhelms me as a blog reader), but the amount of detail into the geography, history, and culture is very impressive and compelling. <br /><br />Reading this as the A-Z theme makes me think of <i>Dictionary of the Khazars</i> -- a history told through an encyclpaedia format.Katherine Hajerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08270232675026751342noreply@blogger.com
