Following the events of September 11th, 2001, University of Tennessee Law Professor Glenn Reynolds coined the phrase "Bellicose Women's Brigade" in an attempt to describe the shift in attitude towards self defense that many of his female readers were experiencing.  We have attempted to embrace that change in attitude here at BWB, and strive to provide information on self defense to women who are interested in learning how to protect themselves.  We're not here to scare you.  We're not here to sell you anything.  BWB is not affiliated with any company, and is not reimbursed for this effort in any way (short of the satisfaction that comes with doing what we think is right).  Our only goal is to provide you with information in a hysteria and hype-free atmosphere.

So, please take a look around.  We have started with the basics over at the "Shooting Basics" page, and have given you some other internet resources as well.  If you have a question not addressed here at the present time, either send us an e-mail or start a topic over at our moderated bulletin boards.  As your questions and comments come in, we will try and address them as part of the BWB site.
