520    "An eighteen-year-old woman named Franca Viola made 
       history in 1966 as one of the first '#metoo' heroines of 
       modern times, when she refused to go along with a 
       centuries-old forcible marriage custom in Sicily. Having 
       endured kidnap and rape, she publicly defied the 
       expectation that she would marry the rapist to 'restore 
       her broken honor.' In Natalie Galli's The Girl Who Said No,
       Viola's remarkable story unfolds when the author arrives 
       in Palermo to search for her, with little more than the 
       memory of a tiny article she had spotted two decades 
       prior. Galli wanted to know: whatever had become of this 
       courageous girl who had overturned an ancient, entrenched 
       tradition? The riveting events after Franca pressed 
       charges with the police form the core of this gripping 
       memoir. Throughout her search for the enigmatic Franca, 
       Galli shares her own poignant and hilarious observations 
       about a vibrant culture steeped in contradiction and 
       paradox. Does she succeed in locating the elusive proto-
       feminist whose case forever changed Italian culture and 
       history? Travel along on Galli's engaging odyssey to find 
       out"--Page [4] of cover.
