Convinced that nuns wear trousers under their habits, she runs away to a convent, only to be disappointed. The only people who do wear trousers, her mother tells her, are men and puttane - whores. She embarks on an apprenticeship in manhood under the expert eye of a cousin, who trains her to spit, strut, and scratch herself as effectively as the next man, but in a squalid little episode she discovers the biological nature of sexual differences." "With virility thus denied her, there is nothing left but to give the second option a try - becoming a whore. Taken under the wing of an older, "liberated" classmate, Annetta is trained in the arts of flirtation and seduction. The lessons are so effective that shortly thereafter, when she is spied ardently kissing a young man, Annetta is immediately taken out of school and banished to live with her aunt and uncle, presumably out of man's way. But there, to her distress, she finds herself trapped in dark family secrets of incest and adultery." "Good Girls Don't Wear Trousers, which provoked a storm of controversy in Italy, has sold over two million copies in Europe."--BOOK JACKET. | |
