Father
Abusive

Amazing Memory
Ability to charm and diffuse tension
Could talk up a storm without giving up any information that she didn't want someone to know
Sat at tables with Al Capone and Lucky Luciano as a Mob Boss
Made millions as a Mob Boss
Used stereotypes to her advantage
I would suggest this to my high school peers. I also feel like this could be taught in school some way because other mob bosses are.
I could convince a lot of people to listen to this just by saying it is about a female mob boss. Many people find it interesting how women rise into positions like a mob boss
This story was very linear. I feel like the narrator could have used flashbacks and it still have made sense and it would have made it more interesting.
A specific scene in the podcast that made me a little emotionally was when the narrator said that Hill sat at tables with Al Capone and Lucky Luciano because she was breaking through gender barriers
I learned from this podcast that women can truly do anything they set their mind to or something maybe they didn't set their mind to. This has changed my outlook on the world and my life.
