Synopsis
Nonna Abatti's late getting to a library book sale. The only book left that seems appealing is one titled "The Cry of the She-Wolf." It turns out to be a feminist manifesto. A few chapters in, Nonna realizes that as a woman, she's being taken advantage of. She will no longer be a slave to the kitchen, and she denounces the possibility of any future pizza making. Well, Angela and her friends are happy that Nonna's taking charge of her own life. But they wish that she'd leave her wonderful pizza out of the process. Uncle Nicky doesn't know the secret recipe. The kids try to help him out, but only Gordy knows how to cook. And all that he can make are eggs! The kids tell Nonna that she's greatly missed in an effort to win her back. She misunderstands their compliments, and she only gets angrier. All hope seems lost until Nonna finally gets to the final chapter of "She Wolf." There, Nonna reads that an independent woman should have her own business and be her own boss. Thanks to Abatti's pizza, she's an independent woman. So really, there's never been any shame in making pizza.
