Street Smart Safety for Women
Author: Joy Farrow
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 0757324940
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 170
Book Description
In a book written by women for women, Street Smart Safety for Women offers tips on defensive living that will increase readers' reliance on the one thing that can protect them most: their safety intuition. Violence against women is a global health issue. The threats women face today are unparalleled and more dangerous than ever before. And, for the first time in history, the toxic cocktail of technology and social media has weaponized misogyny and virtualized violence against women. There’s an even more serious challenge that faces women today. Social conditioning—the way our systems of family life, education, employment, entertainment and pop culture, spirituality and religion influence us— leaves many of us ill-equipped to deal not only with this escalating surge of attacks, but also the unrelenting prevalence of sexual assault, domestic violence, and scams. Women have been culturally trained to discount one of their greatest protections – safety intuition. As women, it is so ingrained in us to attend to everyone else, including strangers on the street, before we listen to ourselves, that we have lost touch with our innate ability to often detect dangerous situations. As the result, we are left generally defenseless to recognize predators who manipulate our natural compassion, to our own detriment. This inability to listen to ourselves and be persuasion-proof directly affects our personal safety and data shows that attacks on women continue to escalate daily across the world, inside and outside of the home. Though everyone is talking about how women continue to be less safe, few offer solutions. Women are terrified and they are looking for answers. In Street Smart Safety for Women, retired Deputy Sheriff Joy Farrow and technologist Laura Frombach, herself a survivor of a violent household, draw on their experiences both personal and professional to provide those answers. Dedicated to educating women in personal safety and showing them a defensive living strategy and trusting in themselves can reduce their probability of becoming a victim of a crime. Chapter 1 – Design for Defensive Living Chapter 2 - Technology Terror Chapter 3 – Can You Recognize a Predator? Chapter 4 - Persuasion, Manipulation, or More? Chapter 5 - Dating Diligence Chapter 6 – What Do Victims of Domestic Abuse Have in Common with Korean War POWs? Chapter 7 - Financial Security is Key to Your Safety Chapter 8 – Tips from a Female Cop Chapter 9 - Shams, Scams and Cons Chapter 10 - Women and Weapons Chapter 11 - From Victim to Victor

Pages : 422
Book Description
** TO BE READ ON BBC RADIO 4 BOOK OF THE WEEK FROM 30 JAN 2023 ** 'As much le Carré as it is Hidden Figures.' AMARYLLIS FOX, author of Life Undercover 'A sweeping epic of a book [which] rescues five remarkable women from obscurity and finally gives them their rightful place in world history ... A book you won't regret reading. Five women you won't forget.' KATE MOORE, author of The Radium Girls 'As entertaining as it is instructive.' GENERAL STANLEY MCCRYSTAL The never-before-told story of a small cadre of influential female spies in the precarious early days of the CIA - women who helped create the template for cutting-edge espionage (and blazed new paths for equality in the workplace). In the wake of World War II, four agents were critical in helping build a new organisation now known as the CIA. Adelaide Hawkins, Mary Hutchison, Eloise Page, and Elizabeth Sudmeier, called the 'wise gals' by their male colleagues because of their sharp sense of humour and even quicker intelligence, were not the stereotypical femme fatale of spy novels. They were smart, courageous, and groundbreaking agents at the top of their class, instrumental in both developing innovative tools for intelligence gathering - and insisting (in their own unique ways) that they receive the credit and pay their expertise deserved. Adelaide rose through the ranks, developing new cryptosystems that advanced how spies communicate with each other. Mary worked overseas in Europe and Asia, building partnerships and allegiances that would last decades. Elizabeth would risk her life in the Middle East in order to gain intelligence on deadly Soviet weaponry. Eloise would wield influence on scientific and technical operations worldwide, ultimately exposing global terrorism threats. Meticulously researched and beautifully told, Holt uses firsthand interviews with past and present officials and declassified government documents to uncover the stories of these four inspirational women. Wise Gals sheds a light on the untold history of the women whose daring foreign intrigues, domestic persistence, and fighting spirit have been and continue to be instrumental to the world's security.

Book Description
Promises to Keep Cujo Brown owed no one anything. He had been a lone wolf for 40 plus years, and he liked it that way. No strings attached. Not to a pack. Not to a woman. Not even to his employer — most certainly not to his old employer. He had an NDA that didn't even allow him to speak their name. And he was fine with that. Back before he'd been banished from his home pack in Hayden Lake, Cujo Brown had attended a Boys Scout camp at Hat Island. And there, he'd formed some of the only bonds he has ever really known. When he retired from the agency-not-to-be named, something tugged him back to Wolf Harbor on Hat Island. Dr. Stefan Lebenev, also one of those teen-aged scouts from long ago, had figured out a serum that would help young shifter girls get through their first shift. He had a grant to finish out the details, and he needed a security chief. Well, that was most certainly within Cujo's skill set. And so Cujo took on a new identity — security chief and fitness coach. Lebenev was a brilliant researcher. But he wasn't any good with people. If he had been, well, maybe he would have vetted his grant funder better. Maybe, he would have listened when people tried to tell him what was happening to his test subjects — post-menopause human women — wasn't right. But the stakes were so high. The survival of the shifter species was at stake. And everyone swallowed their objections and concerns. Even Cujo. It wasn't like he had a lot of morals or ethics to start with, he told himself. Why flinch now? He'd done worse for less gains. Much worse. But then an elderly woman named Olivia Trainer came to the island. And Cujo was bewitched. Mate, his wolf said. Lone wolves can't have mates, Cujo told his wolf. Mate, the wolf insisted. It didn't matter. Stefan Lebenev traded Olivia for continued funding just as he had all the other test subjects. Wolf Harbor didn't have the resources to counsel new wolves, he insisted. The grant funder did. But that wasn't what the grant funder was doing. Mate, his wolf howled. They're torturing our mate! A fitness coach wasn't going to be able to rescue Olivia Trainer. Not even a security chief for a fitness resort could do that. But Cujo Brown had other skills at his disposal. And he is going after his mate. First in a new spin-off series of Wolf Harbor. The series features Cujo Brown, the bad boy readers crush on, and his mission to rescue the women who were test subjects at Wolf Harbor — starting with his mate. Follows immediately after the prequel, Woman of Hat Island, and parallels the main Wolf Harbor series!

Book Description
"When Jason Hanson joined the CIA in 2003, he never imagined that the same tactics he used as a CIA officer for counter intelligence, surveillance, and protecting agency personnel would prove to be essential in every day civilian life. In addition to escaping handcuffs, picking locks, and spotting when someone is telling a lie, he can improvise a self-defense weapon, pack a perfect emergency kit, and disappear off the grid if necessary. He has also honed his "positive awareness" - a heightened sense of his surroundings that allows him to spot suspicious and potentially dangerous behavior - on the street, in a taxi, at the airport, when dining out, or in any other situation."--Provided by publisher.
