Abstract
The fight against the Mafia in Italy took a new turn in the past decade as former Mafia women turned state's evidence, uncovering invaluable information about the Mafia. As they tell their stories of conversion, from women of the Mafia to citizens who believe in civil justice, the women use the topoi of intolerance, forgiveness and promise to describe their process of conversion, to translate private experiences into public testimonies, and to persuade others to follow in their footsteps. Their stories provide inspiration for other anti‐Mafia groups and legitimize the Italian government's fight against the Mafia.
