“The Tuareg are “largely matrilineal”. In Tuareg society women do not traditionally wear the veil, whereas men do.
The most legendary of Tuareg leaders was Tin Hinan, heroine and spiritual leader, believed to have ruled in the fourth or fifth century CE. Tin-Hinan was a Berber princess and often accompanied by her sister Takamat. They came from the Tafilalt mountains in Morocco (Ataram) and founded a legendary kingdom in the Ahaggar mountains.” (from the Wikipedia article about the Tuareg)
