Does anyone know of any good books on self defense? Specifically women's self defense.
I've read The Gift of Fear, Her Wits About Her, Become a Feminine Warrior, A Girl's Gotta Do What A Girl's Gotta Do and Beauty Bites Beast. I would like to continue my book-learnin'
but can't seem to find anything else. (Also read Women in the Martial Arts and Coaching Women in the Martial Arts.)
Also, while I'm thinking about it, I'd like to find more statistics on violence against women if anyone has any ideas.
Suggestions?Theresa Goodwin

That's a pretty good list already. I would add Emotional Intelligence by Daniel Goleman and The Armored Rose by Tobi Beck.
