from what I have read, mostly they just kept thier husbands happy and kept their mouths shut and spent money
the mob tends to be a very macho organization
movies show the opposite sometimes
not in mob history, most mobsters were guys, but thats not to say that they(women) worked in the back ground alot of them did. but in every mob history book you don’t see the women but for things to be used.
I am not aware that there ever has been a woman mafia mob boss. They were usually regulated to being wives and mistresses. This is not to say that women never engaged in violent criminal activity, Bonnie Parker and Ma Baker come to mind.
There are none we know of. But on the other hand you should keep in mind, that the best mobsters are those you never know about. So the whole thing might be ruled by women we just don’t know.
Yes. But if I told you, i’d have to kill you.
