Simple Self-Defense Moves Every Woman Should Know

If you're a woman, you've probably experienced a nervous, sinking feeling when walking alone at night, fearing what's lurking around a dark corner. There's also a good chance you've felt your heartrate speed uncontrollably when you thought you were being followed—or worse, perhaps you were followed and possibly even attacked.
