Gynocracy (also gynecocracy or gynaecocracy) is the principle of "rule by women". Matriarchal societies have existed in many areas, but the concept strictly applied would mean that only women had a say in the governing of the community.
The early analysis by the Swiss sociologist Johann Jacob Bachofen (1815-1867) and by Friedrich Engels (1820-1895) suggested that early human societies were based on matriarchal lineage because human males were polygamous. Other sociologists believe that a patriarchal form was the dominant culture among the early Aryans of Europe.
A mythical form of rule by women is the all-female Amazon culture reported by Herodotus (484-425 BC) and later Greek historians.
