First Sentence

"We find in the Trobriands a matrilineal society, in which descent, kinship, and every social relationship are legally reckoned through the mother only, and in which women have a considerable share in tribal life, even to the taking of a leading part in economic, ceremonial, and magical activities-a fact which very deeply influences all the customs of erotic life as well as the institution of marriage."
