Voted by her peers as one of the best lawyers in America, and described by Time magazine as "one of the nation's most effective advocates of family rights and feminist causes," Allred has devoted her career to fighting for civil rights and has won hundreds of millions of dollars for victims of abuse. She has taken on countless institutions to promote equality, including the Boy Scouts, the Friars Club, and the United States Senate.

How to Fight Back and Win
Author: Judith Fein
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 184
Book Description
Former military intelligence officer Fein has a black belt in tae kwan do. She brings her own self-defense program to readers through step-by-step lessons illustrated by photos that demonstrate stances and moves. She covers the basics of physical self-defense and of preventing rape and sexual assault, escaping from multiple assailants, and defending against armed attackers. As important as the physical techniques, she says, are the psychological elements involved (as in both fear of fighting and successfully fighting), the legal aspects of self-defense, preventing domestic violence, being protected at home and on the road, and the other skills women need to be streetwise. Key to her whole presentation is seeing self-defense skills as survival skills and that self-defense begins with self-esteem. As an increasing number of women come to fear assault and seek freedom and empowerment in the face of its threat, Fein's manual is sure to find a large audience. - Whitney Scott-
