Visit the Island Run by Women

(via Great Big Story) On the little island of Kihnu, seven miles off the coast of Estonia, women run the show. The island functions as one of the last matriarchal societies left in the world. Historically, Kihnu’s men spend most of the year fishing at sea to make a living. In their absence, the women lead the community of 400 strong, while protecting and preserving their ancient traditions.
