Over het boek
The traditional role of women in the Cosa Nostra, both in Italy and the USA, ranges from "trophy wives" to drug runners. But this account shows that women are also taking a leading role and sometimes even turning informer, to win freedom from violent marriages and to give their children a future.
A thorough and sensational survey of the role of women in the mafia. Claire Longrigg, a journalist with }The Guardian{, has tracked down and interviewed magistrates, police investigators and central female mafia figures. Her findings bring to life the drama and complexity of a distorted moral world; the stories she relates are, by turns, shocking, pathetic and simply astounding. "A horrifying tour de force" }Guardian{. 8pp b/w illus
