Having endured kidnap and rape, she publicly defied the expectation that she would marry the rapist to 'restore her broken honor.' In Natalie Galli's The Girl Who Said No, Viola's remarkable story unfolds when the author arrives in Palermo to search for her, with little more than the memory of a tiny article she had spotted two decades prior. Galli wanted to know: whatever had become of this courageous girl who had overturned an ancient, entrenched tradition? The riveting events after Franca pressed charges with the police form the core of this gripping memoir. Throughout her search for the enigmatic Franca, Galli shares her own poignant and hilarious observations about a vibrant culture steeped in contradiction and paradox. Does she succeed in locating the elusive proto-feminist whose case forever changed Italian culture and history? Travel along on Galli's engaging odyssey to find out"--Back cover. 600 10 $a Viola, Franca, $d 1947- 650 0 $a Rape victims $z Sicily. $z Sicily. 650 0 $a Rape $z Sicily. $z Sicily. 650 0 $a Victims of crimes $z Sicily. $z Sicily. 650 0 $a Feminists $z Italy. 651 0 $a Italy $x Marriage customs and rites. 651 0 $a Sicily (Italy) $x Social life and customs. 941 $a 1 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20190802010858.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E505202EB4EA11E9A95CA01D97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
