The paradise was female - Matriarchy in China sold to the chinese government and the Tourists?
This Project brought me to Lugu Lake, high in the Tibetan Himalayas where the leading role in the society is not taken by man, like almost all over the world, but by the women and especially by the mothers of the community. These leadership roles are not only seen within the family structure and decision making, the woman of Mosuo community in fact take on many of the more labour intensive responsibilities. During my time here I have gained an unparalleled respect for these woman and the way in which this ‘unorthodox’ minority consisting of a population of 50.000 people, has lived for thousands of years.
In the recent years though the chinese government has introduces tourism to the them and they have agreed to sell all their land hoping for better life conditions and infrastructure between the villages.
