All who still lived in societies dominated by men. Elizabeth the first wasn’t ever meant to be the ruler of England, neither was her half sister Mary. Their father LITERALLY CREATED AN ENTIRELY NEW RELIGION to ensure that didn’t happen (it did anyway, and Elizabeth I proved how foolish he was). Plenty of women operate in service of the power structure, and it doesn’t automatically make it a matriarchy.
Also, what @GulliverFoyle said!
