Summary: It's a journey of preparation..
Review: I found Mr. Wright's book filled with photos and extensive descriptions empowering. He gives a small woman, like myself (5'3", 110lbs) techniques that I "tested" on my (reluctant) 6'1" husband and found them to work. Mr. Wright provided guidelines for every day activites (such as riding elevators, walking to the car, home alarms and more) which brought me to a new level of awareness. This is not a book that I found difficult to follow or had such complicated techniques that I couldn't recall them.Bottom line to me, this book is a MUST HAVE for all woman.

Summary: Rape Defense: A Non-Confrontational Approach
Review: This book is by far one of the best presentations of this kind that I have ever reviewed. It is exceptionally clearly written, organized and illustrated. The techniques Robert Wright explains and illustrates so very well, are easily understood and practical. Everyone who reads this book will certainly develop a new awareness of simple, doable ways to avoid such confrontational situations - and should such an unfortunate situation arise, he clearly presents sensible means of defending oneself and escaping. Two months ago a young college age girl I know, a daughter of good friends, was kidnapped by a 42 year old male, arms and legs taped with duct tape and forced into his car. She had the presence of mind to use several of the techniques Wright mentions in his book (though unfortunately she hadn't yet read the book) and she escaped before this jerko could rape (kill?) her!! I have given copies of this book to my daughter and to friends with daughters! I sincerely hope they'll never have to use what they learn from reading it!
