The Kuna people
https://www.britannica.com/topic/KunaThose sorts of things depend on a very specific set of circumstances. I wouldn't expect it to generalize. I'm wagering that other significant things were different as women being in charge had never lasted in much of the world, even when women do rise to the top.
Violent angry men may have something to do with that.Wherever they are in control women suffer.A good example would be the Taliban.
There are other Matriarchal societies.

The women under that Taliban weren't allowed to leave their houses, which sounds, and is, oppressive, but then you look at the violence and extreme punishment that impacted the men that were forced to leave their houses, and it doesn't seem so great to be a man there.
If matriarchy is better, that's probably more down to the structural issues that would need to be changed to support it. In the US, there's scant evidence that simply having women in charge makes any difference. Living in parts of the world where food and shelter aren't as hard to come by certainly doesn't hurt.
