#inktober2018 #day30 #roles : #matriarch aka #queen #president #leader and of course for those living in the vestigial commonwealth, one can beco e innured that on the face of every coin we've ever touched for all of my life has had the somewhat indifferent profile of #queenelizabeth whose reigned for 66 years over a constitutional monarchy. She is also (officially) the single largest owner of land in the world, although unofficially that might be putin now. #queenmargrethe reigns in denmark but for a measley 46 years, after that I no longer have confidence in my ability to recognize feminine foreign names. I know the #miningkabau people of #indonesia are matrilineal society. History has a bunch of great female leaders and I recommend #rejectedprincesses .com but there's nzinga mbande who ousted the Portuguese from #Angola. The brutal #ranavalonai and the #machiavellian #wuzetian empress of #china. Ironically Monarchies appear to elevate women to power more reliably than democracies do, even though there's shorter term limits and in most democracies women can vote and slihtly outnumber men. However elected female leaders (there's 24 worldwide as of 2018) #angelamerkel #ernasolberg #saarakuugongelwa #tsaiingwen #theresamay #jacindaardern and historically notable elected lady heads of state are #goldameir #indiragandhi and #sükhbaatarynyanjmaa the first ekected female head of a sovereign state. So while I could speak at length on my speculation on what a matriarch is, young women should just rest easy knowing they too can be loved hated and assassinated as readily as any man seated under damocles' sword. #inktober #ink #watercolour https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpk66xznnHU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11r4hxtp4eq9j
