It is scary, and it's scary how many women don't talk about it because they are ashamed.

I'm glad you feel empowered. It could save your life.

A book that I loved is "The Gift of Fear" by Gavin deBecker. Basically he talks about how we learn to not listen to the little voice in our head, that warns us of danger. For example, if you hear someone following you down the stairway in an office building, your little voice may tell you to run, but instead you tell yourself that you would look foolish if you did that.
