The term "matriarch of the family" refers to a woman who is the head or leader of a family or household, often embodying authority, wisdom, and guidance. She typically plays a central role in family decision-making and is responsible for maintaining family traditions and values. The matriarch often serves as a nurturing figure, providing emotional support and fostering connections among family members.
matriarch
Often, but not always. "Matriarch" is formed of two words: "mater", meaning mother, and "archon" meaning leader. A matriarch is therefore a mother who is the leader of the family. If the mother is not a leader of the family she is not a matriarch. If there are no parents, the leader of the family may be the eldest sister, but although she is the oldest female, she is not a matriarch because she is not a mother.
Another word for a family matriarch is mother or mom. Typically, the mother is the one who rules a family, tribe, or clan.
