Maria Licardi was a tuff lady,she was taken into the life,most women are taken into the life,as some1 here before sad that thouse women are showin respect for their husbands.So sometimes when the husbands are in jail or dead,the wife takes the place as boss.But thats gotta be a street smart and very very tuff lady,not some average housewife
Those women aren't average housewives. They do it out of obligation when their husbands are away. There's no other motivation for them than that. They're devoted to their husbands. End of story.
