| | JS Online: Series' women pack independent heat (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) |
 | | Compare, for instance, the way Janice Soprano, sister of protagonist Tony, and Connie Corleone Rizzi, daughter of godfather Don Corleone, handle the men who've abused them. |
 | | Janice pulls out a gun and shoots fiance Richie Aprile dead; only then does she go to Tony, who helpfully grinds Richie's remains into sausage meat in back of Satriale's Pork Store. |
 | | But in a genre not exactly noted for its rich array of female characters, "The Sopranos" boasts a half-dozen women in substantial roles and at least twice that many in recurring parts that add spice to the sauce: cousins, girlfriends, maids, mistresses, mothers and others. |
