Description

This text is a clarion call to "sleeping beauties" to wake up and take charge of their own self-defense--both verbal and physical--and it celebrates women and kids who fight back. Funny and provocative, this is an irreverent, but serious look at how family, religion, history, news and entertainment keep women thinking they are defenseless.
