Khasi Women Wisdom

Khasi Women Wisdom who number about 1 million in India's north-eastern state of Meghalaya, carry on the matrilineal tradition. The youngest daughter inherits, children take their mother's surname, and once married, men live in their mother-in-law's home. These stories from Khasi women give insight and weave the tapestry of this unique social framework and matrilineal society that has influenced culture and arts and that in turn contributes to the larger universal discussion of gender equality.
