Mama Corleone was.
The last three posts in this thread (which has turned out to be one of the better discussions of the movie in a long time) have touched on the crux of Part II (the changing times and the "Americanization" of family values).
I don't expect that there is a right or wrong answer here. Is the old school way of quietly supporting your husband and accepting his destiny better than putting your own desires on top better? Is it better to accept your station in life and have confidence in your husband's position, or is it better to speak out against that whole "Sicilian thing that has been going on for 2,000 years"?
The answer is a personal choice.
