WHERE WOMEN RULE | Kateřina Karásková

Welcome to a series of investigative travel books in search of matriarchy – where women have naturally become strong without having to fight for equal rights.

The project has taken Simon and I roughly six years to complete, and has led us all over the world from Mexico to Indonesia, up into China and over to India. The books are designed to bring the awkward subject of gender roles to a wider audience using quirky on-location sketches, in-depth historical research and our own travel experiences.

EBook 1: Warrior Women of the Isthmus

Meet the Tehuanas of Southern Mexico, and learn how their feisty charm and entrepreneurship have allowed them to rise above the men and become national icons of the country.

EBook 2: Unexpected Matriarchs

Get to know the Minangkabau women of West Sumatra, and discover that although they live within an Islamic society, age old traditions have given them unexpected privileges within the community.

EBook 3: Kingdom of Free Love

Journey high into the Chinese Himalayas to the remote Mosuo tribe, which is fast becoming a major tourist attraction. Officially promoted as a ‘Kingdom of Women’, but unofficially tagged a sex theme park!

EBook 4: Land of Lost Male Rights

Drink tea with the Khasi women of Northeast India, and learn how they have inherited unprecedented powers over the family – driving the men to campaign for equal rights!
