Trumping the Rape Culture and Sexual Assault (2/9)

List item

This book is more than a ‘how to’ for situational awareness and self-defense. It is a commentary on how women are portrayed in the media and how women respond to each other. This ‘girl power’ book was written to encourage unity among women, remain unafraid to challenge the good ‘ol boy network and stand up for women’s rights.

The author defied the United and International Olympic Committees when she learned that women were not allowed to bobsled as the sport was deemed to fast and dangerous, sleds too heavy. Allred petitioned the IOC and USOC, wrote the women’s bobsled bylaws and fought for the inclusion of women in the Olympic Games. She is a 4th degree black belt and motivational speaker for women’s rights.

  1. This amazing woman is all about being safe, standing up for yourself and fighting for what is right. But most of all, she has taught me to be strong and to fight past your imagined limits.

  2. Sooo I went and looked up the author. I can not believe one person can do this much in just one life time. I ordered a few of her books and now follow (almost stalking tbh) her on twitter. I know what I’ll be recommending to all my girlfriends.

  3. This is by far the most amazing woman I know. She is strong, confident, and wonderful at teaching others how to be. And at the same time, she’s also one of the nicest people I know, going out of her way to help others.

  4. I like how this book guides you through what it means to protect yourself while taking a step back to look at the society today, especially with the current administration’s spin on it. Very interesting.

  5. Alex taught a group of us young ladies when I was in high school how to break a board with just our hands. It was a little scary and I was a bit apprehensive that I could actually do it, but the feeling that followed was such empowerment! I love Alex

  6. Beyond the shadow of a doubt, Alex has done more for my confidence and healing than anyone else. She has not only taught me how to defend myself, but to do it with tempered measure and authority……even at age 60.

  7. I’ve been to one of Alexandra Allred’s self defense classes. She is an expert on the subject. I’m so happy she wrote this book.
