This review is from: Her Wits About Her: Self-Defense Success Stories by Women (Hardcover)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring stories of everyday women defending themselves!, July 25, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Her Wits About Her: Self-Defense Success Stories by Women (Hardcover)

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!
