The Academy HAGIA is pleased to announce its newly created, bilingual website, Matriarchal Studies—Matriarchatsforschung (AHMSM), a unique bibliography of Modern Matriarchal Studies.
The Academy HAGIA has been planning the launch of AHMSM for quite some time, and now it is available on internet, in German at: www.matriarchatsforschung.comand in English at: www.matriarchalstudies.com
The Bibliography exhaustively lists all known studies of and commentaries on the subject of matriarchies, from ancient times up to the modern day. Each title mentioned includes a short caption, so that the origin and development of the field of matriarchy can be traced through to the establishment of modern matriarchal studies.
In the first part of AHMSM offers anthropological publications describing matriarchal societies and societies with matriarchal elements worldwide, in Africa, the Americas, Asia, Australia. The second part of the bibliography is dedicated to the history of matriarchal cultures through archaeological publications and the history of cultures, which have contributed to the knowledge about matriarchal societies in history in West Asia and Europe.
The Oxford University Press (U.S.) first published this comprehensive, English-language bibliography in 2015, with an update published in 2019, the same year that it was translated into German, making this excellent intellectual tool for research on matriarchal societies now accessible in both English and German.
Licensed by Oxford University Press, AHMSM is available, free of charge, as a gift to scholars and people interested in Modern Matriarchal Studies.
