Although the statement that female status correlates negatively with cultural complexity is generally true, the real relation between these two groups of variables is much more complicated. Some important female status variables are characterized by significant positive correlation with cultural complexity within its certain ranges. There are some grounds for attributing this correlation to the rise of female status brought about by the transition to agriculture. On the other hand, contrary to the currently prevalent view, female contribution should be regarded as a significant positive predictor of some important dimensions of female status. The absence of significant correlation between cultural complexity and monopolization of information among societies of low midrange complexity (8-15 on Murdock’s scale) can be connected to the rise of female status with the transition to agriculture
