 history is very sexist. its in the name 'his-story'. men have just ruled since time began, but now its even again thankfully.

And it goes on and on. Believe me. Google it.

Therefore, it is no wonder that men around the world had the power to marry multiple women, but that doesn't mean that there weren't any women who also did the same thing.
Throughout history, there has been a few isolated regions of the world where polyandry existed. That means a woman with multiple husbands.
You can Google "polyandry" and find out about it.
