Welcome to Litsy!

This book looks at the old matriarchal societies, differing greatly from the ones we live in today. Once, women ruled. They had many rights and were not only respected but looked to for guidance on the deepest matters of life. They played every role in a community.

I loved some of these graphic stories about women—those being about Bolivia, Vietnam, and Peru. The latter two being beautifully told stories about women‘s experiences.

I didn‘t understand the first two stories. The graphics and font made the last one hard to grasp. Still recommended. ⬇️

This book built me up. It confirmed so many of the inklings I‘ve been having about roads to gender equality.
