Three forms of women's power: mother, wife, mistress

The system of organizing power in a traditional society did not exclude the active role of women in this process and its ability to govern. Patriarchal traditions provided a certain set of power functions to the woman mother, the woman-wife and the woman-mistress, which in one way or another influenced the management of society as a whole. The persistence of traditions that provide power to women have been preserved for centuries and have reached our time in their archetypal forms.
