Good Girls Don't Wear Trousers (Italian: Volevo i pantaloni) is an autobiographical novel by Lara Cardella. It was published by Mondadori in 1989, when the author was only age 19.
The novel, which tells the plight of a teenager forced into the mental and cultural restrictions of Sicily in the 1980s, achieved unexpected success. It became a social phenomenon and was translated in several languages.
In 1990, the book was adapted into a film with the same name directed by Maurizio Ponzi. In 1995, Cardella wrote a sequel to the book, entitled Volevo i pantaloni 2.
On the twentieth anniversary of the first publication in 2009, Mondadori published a new edition of the book which included a previously unpublished interview with the author.
