I noticed that while in The Godfather, there were no real strong female characters (the females seemed only to exist through the males, ex: Connie and Carlo, Kay and Michael), in The Last Don and Omerta females seemed to take on a role of their own and could be as ruthless as the males, for example Athena asking for her husband to be killed and one other that escapes my mind at the moment.
Will we see a strong female character in The Family? What will Lucrezia be like?

(I'm sorry if this is redundant or a non-serious question. I really don't know much about the book.)
