Jordan Giarratano on protection and self-defense for women in the face of sexual assault
Last March, Seattlite Kelly Herron fought off an attacker (a registered sex offender, she later learned) in the middle of her mid-day run. I read this in the news and was rattled to the core by the story. That could have been me; that could have been any of millions of women who go for a […]
