The best way for a woman (or man) to defend themselves is to conceal carry a firearm. We in America are blessed with a Second Amendment that guarantees our ability (regardless of size or strength) to protect ourselves. Use it.
That works only if one regularly practices with it. Carrying one around may make you feel more secure, but unless you're well-prepared to use it in an actual confrontation, you'll either end up getting shot first or accidentally shooting someone other than the threat. It's interesting that in a nation awash with guns, the 'good guy with the gun' is almost never the person who saves the day; it's unarmed men taking down the guy with the gun. I'm not arguing against the Second Amendment; I support it, but I have a jaundiced view of how useful they are in the hands of civilians who think that a few lessons (if they even indulge in that) will teach them how to handle themselves in a sudden, highly threatening situation they're psychologically unprepared for.
