Compared to the world of skinny fashion models and media ruling the way women should look, act and feel, the Isthmus Zapotec culture of southern Mexico is a land of free thinking entrepreneurial warrior women.
Tehuanas, as they have become known, run the markets, manage the family purse, and are generally regarded - even by the men - to be the more intelligent of the sexes. During the course of history they have inspired artists, intellectuals and politicians, and risen to the status of national icon of Mexico. 
I feel there are definitely some lessons we could learn from this culture, not least how to break free from the mould others create for us.
 
Join us on a quest that delves into the structure of family and social hierarchy to try and find a real-life matriarchy!
