Every Woman Should Read This Book

As a self-defense instructor of over 20 years, I use this book as a prime recommendation to all woman. It is packed with a wealth of positive stories of women who have succeeded in defeating the enemy -- men -- with a variety of feminine wiles, intelligent use of resources, and innovative techniques. Every woman would be uplifted by reading this book. I heartily urge all interested women to get this book -- by hook or by crook -- and read every word. There is no better record of womens' success against adversity in print.

Her Wits About Her

This is one of the best books about women's self defense. It should be republished.

Inspiring stories of everyday women defending themselves!

This book is full of powerful true-life stories of normal, everyday women in a wide range of situations, defending themselves both verbally and physically. Every woman should read this book! It counteracts the messages we've all learned about how women are supposedly helpless. I teach women's self-defense and recommend this book to all of my students. I am very disappointed it is out of print and can only be found used!

Great collection of self defense success stories

This is a fantastic collection of stories by women who have successfully defended themselves. Stories cover a variety of different situations (from verbal harassment to very serious physical assault) and methods of self defense (mental, emotional, verbal, physical). As a self defense instructor, the material in this book is invaluable in my classes. My only complaint is that it focuses mainly on stranger assault - I wish there were more stories about women defending themselves from acqaintances.

Sucess stories that will enrage,inspire and enpower women!
