The Godmother. Murder, revenge...w.ukraińska - Barbie Latza Nadeau

"The first task of women in the Italian mafia is to pass on the criminal culture

to new generations. The second is to take care of families, act as confidants and secretaries, while remaining invisible, because ""women do not belong to the mafia."" So when Puppetta boldly drove 29 bullets into the body of Antonio Esposito, the killer of her

husband's murderer, she was doing a purely male thing. But Puppetta is not the only representative of the

of the ""weaker"" sex who managed to leave a mark on the history of the Italian mafia. While

for many years, the police saw the wives of the most wanted men as helpless dolls, they became the backbone of criminal organizations, and went beyond what was expected and allowed.

Telling the story of Pupetta, the author introduces us to an unjustifiably

romanticized and overly cruel criminal world, where they despise the authorities and respect the vendetta. Where to repent, have a non-traditional sexual orientation, or to repent, to have a different sexual orientation, or to go against your mafia family is an unpardonable sin. Where men are supposed to be strong and powerful, and women are supposed to be faithful and nondescript. But it's not like that at all."
