Do We Live in a Gynaecocratic Society

Julius Evola wrote the introduction to the Italian translation of 
Bachofen’s ‘Das Mutterrecht’, published by Bocca in 1949 as ‘Le Madri e 
la Virilita Olimpica’ (‘The Mothers and Olympian Virility’). This 
introduction, which constitutes a true essay, was published by 
Fondazione Julius Evola in 1990 as ‘Il Matriarcato nell’ Opera di 
J.J.Bachofen’ (‘Matriarchy in the Work of J.J. Bachofen’). Evola 
adopted, while ridding them of their evolutionism, his theory of 
matriarchy and his typology of cultures, his ‘intuitions of genius’ with
 respect to the history of Antiquity, in several of his own works, from 
‘The Dawn of the West in ‘Ur e Krur’ to ‘Revolt against the Modern 
World’ and so forth. ‘Viviamo in una Societa Ginecocratica?’, published 
in 1936 in the paper Augustea, can be found, with a few other articles 
published by Evola in various other papers from 1936 to 1951, in 
‘Critica del Costume (Scritti su Sesso e Donna nel Mondo Moderno’)’, 
Edizioni il Cinabro, 1988 (‘Critique of Customs (Writings on Sex and 
Woman in the Modern World)’.
