Women behind bars from Alfonsina to Sophia Loren

Protagonists of the book are twelve women who tell their personal stories and their dramas from their jails. They were compelled to fight against me, who had betrayed or disappointed them, against social injustices or against hardship of life. From their words, their sad existential events come up, of which there had been protagonists. The resulting picture is a deep humanity. Some of these women had made serious crimes, while others had met the evil, but all of them can be considered victims of society, of prejudices, of misery. Their tragic stories touch the heart and come deep into the soul of the reader. A different chapter is the story of Sophia Loren’s detention, who, in 1982, was prisoned in the jail of Caserta for seventeen days, because of tax evasion. The media hype, rose up by our special guest, brought a spot of colour inside the grey life of the jail.
