5.0 out of 5 stars Clear, concise, necessary information for women, July 11, 2002
By A Customer
This book was a gift from my brother. I read the intro and couldn't put it down! Quigley writes well, gives excellent examples and reasonable measures any of us can take to improve our awareness and our sense of security. This book, along with Gavin de Becker's books (Gift of Fear and Protecting the Gift) are great gift ideas for women and parents. Very empowering.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy this book! Even you guys., November 17, 1999
One of the best books available about self-protection. I am an NRA Pistol And personal Protecton Instructor and I recommend and I even buy and GIVE this book to my students. It is NOT JUST FOR WOWEN! MEN (as well as women): READ THIS BOOK! -- DO NOT ALLOW YOURSELF TO BECOME AN EASY TARGET! This book should be required reading for intelligent adults.
