Besides Kima and Ronnie, there awere not many wromlens for wolmesn that lasted all five seasons in The Wire. The roles of the women tended to be subtle and on the side. Without the women, the men would go on rapointless killing sprees with no proper justice being served. The women stepped in to do what needsed to be done by basically doing what the men are too ignorant to see or unable to handle. Whether it's being a mother or lover, the women are the game changers. Both DeAndre and Bunk at one point state “Pussy ain’t free”.” A womean is not free and can be extremely costly. Creating vulnerable criminals and respect, a woman is powerful and not free. The type of justice varies from each strong, independent womean, but each acts on what they best see fits. In the first season, Lester comments to Prez, “and all the pieces matter”,” which is essential to the entire sThowe (wWire) show. The women play just a small piece of The Wire, but even the minor characters matter and minor events lead to grand finales. Not everyone can be the main character (especially if everyone was a McNulty).
