\Gy*noc"ra*cy\ (j[i^]*n[o^]k"r[.a]*s[y^]), n. [See
Gynecocracy.]
Female government; gynecocracy.
[1913 Webster]
The aforesaid state has repeatedly changed from
absolute despotism to republicanism, not forgetting the
intermediate stages of oligarchy, limited monarchy, and
even gynocracy; for I myself remember Alsatia governed
for nearly nine months by an old fishwoman. --Sir W.
Scott.
