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 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. 538 $a Requires OverDrive app (file size: 38 KB). 650 17 $a Nonfiction. $2 OverDrive 650 7 $a History. $2 OverDrive 650 7 $a Sociology. $2 OverDrive 650 7 $a True Crime. $2 OverDrive 655 7 $a Electronic books. $2 local 700 1 $a Nadeau, Barbie Latza. 856 40 $u http://link.overdrive.com/?websiteID=251&titleID=8740606 $z Click to download here. 856 4 $3 Image $u https://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-100/1191-1/%7B66B6FCDB-0912-48CB-B8C6-0886EA6E72DF%7DIMG100.JPG $z Large cover image 856 4 $3 Thumbnail $u https://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-200/1191-1/%7B66B6FCDB-0912-48CB-B8C6-0886EA6E72DF%7DIMG200.JPG $z Thumbnail cover image 856 40 $3 Click for more information $u https://api.overdrive.com/v1/collections/v1L1B0wAAAA2Z/products/66b6fcdb-0912-48cb-b8c6-0886ea6e72df $x 1370 941 $a 1 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20220907010600.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1041038E2E7311EDAD0D84A25AECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
