I read that in the camorra women sometimes happen to be in charge, but not in the Sicilian Cosa Nostra.
Here in Italy I once watched a TV-series about the mafia which had women as bosses but I think it was presented in a laughable way, the mafiosi wouldn't obey young girls, if a woman has a chance to run things in a criminal organization, it would rather be an experienced "grandmother".


Willie Marfeo to Henry Tameleo:

1) "You people want a loaf of bread and you throw the crumbs back. Well, fuck you. I ain't closing down."

2) "Get out of here, old man. Go tell Raymond to go shit in his hat. We're not giving you anything."
