The Godmother - Barbie Latza Nadeau - English
The chilling story of one woman’s rise to prominence in the Italian Mafia, and the as-yet untold stories of the women who followed in her footsteps.For as long as it has gripped our imaginations, the Mafia has been tied to an ingrained image of masculinity. We read about "made men ," "wise guys ," and "good fellas " leading criminal organizations whose culture prizes machismo, with women as ancillary and often-powerless trivialized mistresses and long-suffering mob wives. The reality is far more complex.
In The Godmother , investigative journalist Barbie Latza Nadeau tells the stories of the women who have risen to prominence, and fallen out of favor, in the Italian mob, beginning with the most infamous of these Pupetta Maresca. A Mafia woman born and raised, Pupetta avenged her husband’s murder, firing 29 shots at the man who killed him.
