Reviews
A most engaging account of life among the matrilineal and matriarchal Mosuo tribe in China's Yunnan province, but also a lament to a way of life now threatened by modernity and tourism. Full of detail and telling insights into gender roles, it will appeal to armchair travellers as well as to anthropologists and sociologists., A crisp account by a high-powered Singaporean lawyer of how she renounced her former life of fifteen-hour working days in a male-dominated corporate world to find her feminist soul in the last matriarchal ethnic group remaining in China. Full of insights and touching descriptions, this is one of the most accessible and concrete descriptions of the Mosuo, a group more analysed than understood, putting the humanity of this tribe at the forefront of their identity., "A fascinating portrait of one of the world's last matriarchal societies, a land without fathers or husbands, without marriage or divorce, written by an international corporate lawyer who ditched her hectic life to embrace this Shangri-La inside deepest China." --Jan Wong, author of 'Beijing Confidential' "A crisp account by a high-powered Singaporean lawyer of how she renounced her former life of fifteen-hour working days in a male-dominated corporate world to find her feminist soul in the last matriarchal ethnic group remaining in China.

Synopsis
In a mist-shrouded valley on China's invisible border with Tibet is a place known as the "Kingdom of Women," where a small tribe called the Mosuo lives in a cluster of villages that have changed little in centuries. In a mist-shrouded valley on China's invisible border with Tibet is a place known as the "Kingdom of Women," where a small tribe called the Mosuo lives in a cluster of villages that have changed little in centuries. This is one of the last matrilineal societies on earth, where power lies in the hands of women. All decisions and rights related to money, property, land and the children born to them rest with the Mosuo women, who live completely independently of husbands, fathers and brothers, with the grandmother as the head of each family. A unique practice is also enshrined in Mosuo tradition--that of "walking marriage," where women choose their own lovers from men within the tribe but are beholden to none., In a mist-shrouded valley on China's invisible border with Tibet is a place known as the "Kingdom of Women," where a small tribe called the Mosuo lives in a cluster of villages that have changed little in centuries., The Kingdom of Women is hidden in a mist-shrouded valley within the Far Eastern foothills of the Himalayan range in China; a cluster of villages unchanged for many centuries which hosts the small Musuo tribe. This is one of the last matrilineal societies on earth, where all decisions related to money, property and the rights of land and children belong to the Musuo women - their power independent and untouched by husbands, fathers and brothers. Protected by the mountain goddess Gemu, the tribe is also inherently female in its ancestry with each family headed by the grandmother, and each generation only connected by a matrilineal bloodline. As Musuo women choose their own lovers through the tradition of 'walking marriage', the children grow up with their mothers, siblings and uncles guiding them. The ancient community welcomed corporate lawyer Choo WaiHong with warmth, quickly inviting her to become a godmother to one young girl, and soon to more children throughout her six year stay. The Kingdom of Women captures the Musuo feminist Utopia before modernisation firmly sets in - a portrait of tradition tucked away in the mountains, now on the edge of Book jacket.
