From the Back Cover
Sassy
single gal, high-powered exec in high heels, carefree college co-ed,
harried soccer mom--no matter who you are, you deserve to feel secure
doing your own thing anytime, anywhere. With a little help from the Safety
Chick, it's a cinch.
Sharing lessons she's learned--the hard way--along with proven tips
from a battery of experts in street smarts,
Kathleen Baty gets
specific about what to pack for a
business trip, where it's safe to
shop online, when to
report a creepy co-worker, and how to tell that
guy who's bothering you at the bar to get lost--for good.
Complete with step-by-step instructions on how to stop an assailant
dead in his tracks with your words, your hands, or,
if necessary, a
few easy-to-use self-defense weapons, this book is a master class in
personal safety for women of all ages.
