Choo WaiHong has lived amongst the Mosuo in the highlands of Yunnan, China, since 2011, and captured her experience in the book, “The Kingdom of Women: Life, Love and Death in China’s Hidden Mountains” in 2017. Having been a successful corporate lawyer in Singapore for most of her adult life, Choo is drawn to the Mosuo’s women-centered way of life as an alternative to “a world grown old and weary under patriarchy.” Choo’s lived experiences, and close-knit relationship with the Mosuo provide an authentic, first-hand perspective of day-to-day life in a modern matriarchy.
