They make the major decisions, control household finances, have rightful ownership of land and property and full rights to the children born to them. Most notably, the Mosuo practice something called 'walking marriage' where, from the age of 13, women can choose to take lovers - as many or as few as they wish - from men within the tribe. Choo Waihong discovered the Mosuo several years ago and lived with them for six years, becoming part of a Mosuo family and of the wider community - the only non-Mosuo to have ever done so. The story of her time in the remote mountains of China is both poignant and compelling: a vibrant glimpse into a way of life that teeters on the knife-edge of extinction. 650 0 $a Women $z Yunnan Sheng. $z Yunnan Sheng. 650 0 $a Women $z Sichuan Sheng. $z Sichuan Sheng. 650 0 $a Matriarchy $z Yunnan Sheng. $z Yunnan Sheng. 650 0 $a Matriarchy $z Sichuan Sheng. $z Sichuan Sheng. 650 0 $a Ethnic groups $z Yunnan Sheng. $z Yunnan Sheng. 650 0 $a Ethnic groups $z Sichuan Sheng. $z Sichuan Sheng. 650 7 $a Nakhi $2 gnd 650 7 $a Frau. $2 gnd 650 7 $a Matriarchat $2 gnd 650 7 $a Nationale Minderheit $2 gnd 650 7 $a Minderheitenpolitik $2 gnd 650 7 $a Ethnosoziologie $2 gnd 650 7 $a Sozialanthropologie. $2 gnd 650 7 $a Ethnic groups $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00915958 650 7 $a Matriarchy $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01012393 650 7 $a Women $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01176568 651 7 $a China $z S�udwest $2 gnd 651 7 $a Yunnan $2 gnd 651 7 $a China $z Sichuan Sheng. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01212127 651 7 $a China $z Yunnan Sheng. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01213585 941 $a 3 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231018024732.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200103020830.0 952 $l GAAX314 $d 20170701010042.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8E1D6AEE5E2211E78DAED5EDDAD10320 994 $a Z0 $b HL6Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
