Book Review : "Slå tillbaka! handbok i självförsvar för kvinnor" (P.Östergren)

This book had an attractive title "Slå tillbaka" (in English: "Hit back"). The author write without discussion a clear and easy understanding handbook about self-defence for women. She is dividing the situations into three categories: (1) to avoid dangerous situations, (2) to get away from a dangerous/insulting situation without violence and (3) when unavoidable, to get away from a dangerous/insulting situation with violence.

The descriptions and exemples are well taken from daily life and the author makes it clear than mental preparation can be the trigger.

This handbook should be available for any girl, teen, woman to get them winning back the control of their life. Self-defence is a necessity and being aware of the solution existing makes it easier to handle when the situation well does become seriously dangerous.

Difficult to give a mark on this, but well written, well furnished in example... a good 7.5/8 out of 10. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
