AnswerThe Iroquois women had alot of power over the Government and Iroquois Confederacy.
the women of the Confederacy
Iroquois women had a lot of power. The clan mother picked the male leaders and could remove a male leader if she felt he was not doing a good job. The women controlled the resources of the land and the possessions. (Technically no one was allowed to OWN land.) Men only owned their clothing and weapons. Women controlled the children so if she divorced her husband, she retained custody.https://www.reference.com/history/were-roles-women-iroquois-confederacy-563e9b07ceff0aa6#
