This publication is written specifically for Women of all ages. It covers personal security, awareness scenarios, basic self defense 'a simplified version of MCMMA' also personal home security scenario's. Awareness guidance in parking garages, mall parking lots, mindset and precautions. This book is highly recommended for young college coeds living in dorms, business women and seniors living alone. Topics covered are physical attacks, rape, muggings, abuse and battered women, re-building self esteem, and how to seek help. The Author is Retired Military, Marine Instructor, Director of Human Resources, Addictions Counselor and Treatment program advisor. and a Vietnam USMC Combat Veteran. I originally wrote this book in the mid 1980's, unfortunately it is more applicable now. The decision to re-write or update 'Security for Today's Women' was a simple one. I began thinking about revising the text and publishing to Amazon, following a conversation with my wife. Where she had expressed her concern about the dangers faced by today's college coeds, either sex. Those living in a college dorm or apartment. And how closely it compared to her own terrifying rape experience in a dark parking garage. Her voiced concerns regarding the unknown dangers faced by today's women everywhere, inspired a complete rewrite of the original book, new cover and all. When the initial book was completed in the 80's, She eagerly read it and basically stated; If I had known this stuff before, it would have never happened. Every woman should know how to defend herself. That's the story behind this little book for today's busy Women. It is our sincere hope you do not have such a terrifying experience thrust upon you. In the words of my wife and editor: "Knowing how to defend myself, changes everything". This small book is a no nonsense, thirty+ pages of Self Help, 'Awareness with Attitude' book for Today's Women, everywhere. A Marines wife knows, "Attitude is Everything". Thank you and stay safe.
