Answer:
The Tuareg trace their lineage back to the warrior-princess Tin Hinan, known as the African Amazon Queen.
Fugitives from an unknown desert land, Tin Hinan and her caravan of followers wandered around the Northern Sahara during the fourth century A.D. Nearly dead from starvation, they stumbled across anthills stuffed with grain in the mountains of Algeria and decided to settle there.
Despite being a woman in a patriarchal world, Tin Hinan managed to unite the local tribes under her rule, teach them writing and herbal medicine, and establish a network of lucrative trade routes across the Sahara. The Tuareg and the tribes they came from still exist today; they are known to the world as the Berbers, though they prefer to be called their chosen name—the Amazigh.
After Tin Hinan’s death, the Tuareg considered her the mother of their people, and continued to trace their family lines through the women rather than the men. The female line is so powerful that a man's sister's daughter is closer to him in blood than his own son.
This upturning of traditional gender roles has shaped Tuareg culture. Here, it is the men who cannot remove their veils.
Their culture has remained much the same for over a millennium. Only in the past two hundred years or so have Western countries surpassed the Tuareg in women’s rights.
Such as:
1. Women own the livestock and tents.
To put into perspective how crazy that is: American women couldn’t own property until 1848. Tuareg women got there over a thousand years earlier.
2. They can be poets and musicians.
Many of the best Tuareg musicians are female. Although certain types of music and dance are gender-specific, both men and women write poetry and perform. No one has to fight for recognition in the arts just because of their sex.
3. They can divorce their husbands.
In many North African and Middle Eastern countries, it's difficult for women to get a divorce, and they rarely get custody. Tuareg remain relatively autonomous, however, and in their culture it's actually more common for women to seek divorce than men.
There’s not even any stigma attached. Quite the opposite, actually—women often throw “divorce parties” afterwards to show men they’re available.
This is actually an area where men are the ones without rights; after divorce, the woman typically decides who gets what. A divorced man can be left with nothing but his camel, living in his mother's tent.
4. The same sexual standards apply to both women and men.
The Tuareg have a sort of “it's none of my business” attitude towards premarital sex. There could be trouble if the young couple is too obvious about it, but when that happens it's not all blamed on the girl as it is in other cultures. Society has the same expectations for everyone regardless of gender.
