No, it's neither hard to find or believe. They have reoccurred repeatedly, throughout history, and have but one thing in common....they're all history....they all failed.
All the matriarchal societies have fallen by the wayside because they couldn't sustain themselves, couldn't defend themselves. Sure, they might have been progressive, nurturing, peaceful, utopias....but that doesn't do them a bit of good if they can't fend off aggressive neighbors. Blame the neighbors all you want, it's still the reality of history, none of them strong were enough to survive.
