The Vuvalini are a matriarchal tribe living in the wasteland of Australia in 2015's Mad Max: Fury Road. Furiosa was once a member before she was stolen and forced to live under the control of the warlord Immortan Joe as one of his Wives. When Furiosa, Max, the other Wives, and War Boy Nux find the Vuvalini, the two groups join forces.

The only part of motherhood Joe valued was the actual birthgiving - a sentiment gruesomely displayed by the crude caesarean forced on Angharad. But the Vuvalini had many different ways to be mothers, and Furiosa proves that the most important part of motherhood is not the production of children, but the act of teaching and protecting. This, alongside the wives’ assertion that ‘Our babies will not be warlords,’ the culture of toxic masculinity that surrounds the war boys from being separated from their mothers at birth and the fact that a new, peaceful generation is ushered in by the war pups lowering the lift and the Milking Mothers throwing off their chains to give water to Wretched, tells us that the true value of motherhood does not lie in the ability to bear children, but in a woman’s ability to teach, influence and shape future generations. -Mad Max and Motherhood[1]
Furiosa of the many mothers refused to let her worth be defined by the patriarchy’s narrow definition of motherhood. She spat in its face and tore the entire toxic institution to the ground so she could create a world where women’s roles as mothers went far beyond the mere production of children. -Mad Max and Motherhood[2]
