Matriarchy:
(1) A system of society or government ruled by a woman or women

(2) A form of social organization in which descent and relationship are reckoned through the female line

(3) The state of being an older, powerful woman in a family or group

For this month’s connect, let’s discuss the female inspiration in our lives: our moms; The rival who pushes us to new heights; The 85-year-old neighbor who’s learning how to code.

People — both fictional and real — who have helped us see, strive for, and become better versions of ourselves. Today we’ll share who has earned our admiration and inspired us in our lives.
