What reading level is The Age of Mother Power the Position of Woman in Primitive Society book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
17 The male authority was felt chiefly in periods of war. This may be illustrated by the Wyandots, who have an elaborate system of government. In each gens there is a small council composed of four women, called yu- wai-you-wd-na; chosen by the heads of the household. These women select a chief of the gens from its male members, that is, from their brothers and sons. He is the head of the gentile council. The council 17 Owen : If usquakie Indians, p. 72. 138 AMONG AMERICAN INDIANS of the tribe ...is composed of the aggregated gentile councils ; and is thus made up of four- fifths of women and one-fifth of men. The sachem of the tribes, or tribal-chief, is chosen by the chiefs of the gentes. All the civil gov- ernment of the gens and of the tribe is car- ried on by these councils ; and as the women so largely outnumbered the men, who are also with the one exception of the tribal-chief chosen by them, it is evident that the social government of the gens and tribe is largely controlled by them.
