“The Godmother [is a] crisply written, dutifully researched book exploring the role of women in the…underbelly of Italian life.”
—New York Times Book Review
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," "wiseguys," and "goodfellas"
leading criminal organizations whose culture prizes machismo, with
women as ancillary and often-powerless characters: 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 women: Pupetta
Maresca. A Mafia woman born and raised, Pupetta avenged her husband’s
murder, firing 29 shots at the man who killed him.
Woven
throughout Pupetta's story is Nadeau's diligent research, and her
personal interviews with the Mafia women themselves. Nadeau takes
readers inside the Mafia families to paint a complete and complex
portrait of the real culture that has shaped the Mafia, and the women
who are part of it.
Leaving behind the stereotypes we know from Mafia movies, The Godmother
shows the Mafia in an entirely new light: full-fledged, ruthless,
twenty-first-century criminal enterprises led by whoever is strong
enough and smart enough to take control.
