The word 'matriarchy' is a noun, a word for a family, community, or society that is ruled by women; a form of social organization in which descent and relationship are reckoned through the female line; a word for a thing.

A noun functions as the subject of a sentence or a clause, and as the object of a verb or a preposition.

Example sentences:

  • A matriarchy as a political system is often debated by scholars. (subject of the sentence)
  • My mother ran the household as a matriarchy. (object of the preposition 'as')
