Patriarchal
France is traditionally considered a patriarchal society, with men holding more power and influence in political, economic, and social spheres. However, in recent years, efforts have been made to promote gender equality and empower women in various aspects of French society.

A matriarchal system.
All patriarchial social systems - of which there are several kinds - affect gender relations. There has never been a matriarchial social system: one in which women sacrifice to pursue the highest social roles in that society. All social systems ever found are patriarchial.
Traditionally, the Ottawa tribe was matriarchal meaning the property belonged to the women and decisions were probably made with the women's input. As the European encroached upon them, efforts were made to convert the tribe to one that was patriarchal in nature. For example, women were forced to take their husband's last name. Nowadays, women have the same rights as the men, and can hold any position within the tribe, although it is believed that the women still are the "keepers of tradition".
In a patriarchal society, the men have more power than the women. Women often have reduced privileges compared to the men. The men make the rules and own the property.
In matriarchal societies, women often hold positions of power and authority, making decisions for the community and guiding social norms. They may also bear significant responsibility for the well-being and upbringing of their families and communities. Additionally, women in matriarchal societies typically play key roles in passing down traditions, knowledge, and cultural practices to future generations.
I think that you are asking about a "Matriarchal Society" or culture.
Well, darling, a matriarchal family is a family structure where the mother or female figure holds the primary power and authority. It's like a queen bee ruling her hive, except with less buzzing and more family drama. So, if you find yourself in a matriarchal family, just remember who wears the crown.
A society where leadership or government is in the hands of women. -(and BTW - the word is 'matriarchal' - not matricial.)
