Perhaps Smith, in exclusively emphasizing branching mother-daughter links, isn't undoing the patriarchal logic of lineage (the fantasy that fathers beget first sons, who in turn beget first sons...) That is the logic of descent systems, which undergirds the reproduction of male dominance. Smith privileges the intimacy of kinship, of the domestic realm, extended through the generations. She's still encompassed within the hegemonic scheme of descent/kinship, cultural/natural, male/female,
