Women belong to the organisation. They are owned by the organisation. But, in recent decades, the role of women has shifted. Around the same time inter-gang murders were rife. With many of the men in prison or buried underground, women started to step into the power void to take charge. The trend, however, is less a reflection of a feminist revolution within the mafia than necessary measures taken to step in when brothers, husbands, or fathers are no longer able. Pushing aside male counterparts is something a woman would never presume — or dare — to do.
In the last two decades, women have shown that they too are capable of coordinating a drug racket, administrating and mobilising members of the clan, and, when needed, wielding the knife and gun. This was made clear in when a murder needed avenging. By the end of the day two grandmothers and a teenage girl were dead.

In the mids, former beauty queen Pupetta Little Doll was pregnant when her husband was murdered. Especially in the Camorra, they often became central in criminal affairs, also in leadership positions. Licciardi came to power after her brothers were imprisoned and her husband and nephew were murdered. She quickly weaved together the different clans around Naples to create a vast and lucrative drugs and prostitution racket.
In Licciardi ordered a series of gruesome killings that belied her small size. That year she had a feud with the Lo Russo family who, against her orders, distributed drugs that were too pure and too strong to give to addicts. Licciardi wanted it off the streets; too many drug deaths would bring the unwanted attention of the anti-mafia authorities and media. When the Lo Russos ignored her — causing a spate of fatal accidental drug overdoses — she ordered that they be brought into line, leaving Naples littered with bodies. But Licciardi was also seen by many as more effective than the male leaders she had replaced, running, in many accounts, the spider-web of clans like a successful multinational.
She was the one who gave the orders, even if my brother [Emilio] was the boss in name.
