Default Iqual opportunity for women in Naples' mob

In Naples' mob, there's no glass ceiling.
Women have risen to top rungs in the Camorra, unlike in Italy's other mafias. They're also violent.

I just sent you the ariticle or part of it.

Do a search. Type in Iqual opportunity for women in Naple's mob and or
L.A. Times articile on it. It should come up.

This link below seems to work. Hopefully Paolo shouldn't mind. It's free advertisment for them dopo di tutto.
It's just telling you where to go and not printing the whole article.

OK, I have read the article. Like I said I'm not really all that shocked. Women have fought for equality in so many walks of life....owning property, the work force, the army, sports, etc. Why would organized crime be any different right? There have probably been many women masterminds who have long been involved with the mob. It's just that the traditional image of a mobster is a man with a dark suit so some people may find the article hard to believe.
