A Girl's guide to Self defense

Why write a book on 'Girls guide to Self defense'? Primarily because I'm a guy and it makes me angry to constantly read about guys attacking girls, usually for sex, but often it is just a dominance issue. Evidently, man is the stronger more aggressive gender and women are perceived as the weaker gender. As a general rule those stereotypes are correct. It has often passed through my thought process that strength is not the main issue when it comes to self defence. It's a lack of knowledge and confidence that makes the female cower and become passive when they are attacked by a perceived stronger male. This book is designed to give the reader some knowledge and confidence for when the invasion/attack occurs. It also shows that lack of physical strength need not be the deciding factor.
