Critics Review
“Farrow and Frombach’s unique experiences make them effective and credible advocates for their message, and the book as a whole is a highly readable and useful addition to the genre of women’s self-defense writing.”— Kirkus Reviews
“Street Smart Safety for Women is filled with wisdom that every woman should have to better situate herself for security and safety. There is so much about the life skills that women can employ/develop/learn to maintain their health and well-being. I really enjoyed the well-researched information and the personal stories of the authors. Sharing their personal perspectives gives the reader a clearer perspective on the importance and the suggestions that are made throughout the book.”
