Conquest Hierarchy and the Decline of Female AutonomyAn Analysis of Evolving Inca Gender Roles

Prior to the development of the Inca Empire from 1438 to 1493, the role of gender was dominated by the concept of gender parallelism. Inca people have enabled this idea to be the basis of equality of problems such as religion, economy, gender and labor. However, as the Inca Empire began to expand with radical momentum, the dynamics was declining. Culturally rooted sexual parallelism is manipulated to achieve the success of the empire's goals. Expansion of the Inca Empire deprived women autonomous gender parallelism, brought to some extent conquest, and transformed the Inca's cultural practices into larger empires.

Silverblatt believes that the status of women in society has changed somewhat by the conquest of Incas people. The complementary and parallel gender ideology is still strong. Women occupy a very important position in the worship of the moon. There is a strict hierarchy. The Queen dominates all women. By emphasizing conquest and expansion in Inca culture, the inequality implicitly included in the level of conquests has resulted in a gradual decline in the status of women. Silverbroot estimates that during this period men have more production resources than women. Stable isotope analysis showed that the amount of corn consumed by females is consistent with plant product data, but male corn consumption is higher than expected. . .

However, this enthusiasm for money is the biggest weakness. A small civilization along the coast of South America tells Spain that even though their walls are made of gold, the Inca Empire was so rich and powerful. Coincidentally, a Spanish sailing ship met with a crew member of gold, silver, precious minerals and Inca.

Silverbroad believes that the system of Accra always reminds of the level of conquest. Akras is the materialization of "conquered". The marriage between Accra and the Incan noblemet is a metaphor for conquest. Akras is not a member of Aris born to maintain their rights. However, they have never been fully integrated into the Inca community. Burkett (1978) pointed out that although they have a privileged position they can not control their choice and life later. Silverbroot claims that the control of "sex" of Accra has taken control of its own temporal continuity from ayllu (p. 107). Among the soils imported from the motherland, empire marks are attached to their tombs.
