    In the Baltic sea, just off the western coast of Estonia lies Kihnu. This small island of 700 people is often described as Europe’s last matriarchy where men are traditionally out fishing and the women are left in charge. In 2008, UNESCO listed Kihnu culture as an “Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity”where Kinhu women were the “principal custodians” of its traditions, including the songs, dance, and handicrafts. Meet the women on the island who are working hard to keep their century-old traditions alive.
