queendom
Female sovereign's territory
A queendom is a realm ruled by a queen, parallel to kingdom.
The word appears in fantasy literature and feminist contexts that reimagine traditionally male power structures: She built her own queendom.
More loosely, it describes any domain where a woman holds sway: the queendom of her kitchen.
