There are worlds in which women are condemned to fight, if they want to survive, to fight with every possible resource to emerge from the degradation and misery in which society seems to have relegated them. It is the story of Anna, Nuzza and Bettina - who knit by day and sell themselves at night - and of the poor handicapped orphan who lives with them.
