In 1986, NYC’s subways looked so cool. As great and inspiring their imagery may look, it
was a danger zone in town. One can tell that the whole city of New York was a war zone. If there's one woman who has proved that brains can conquer brawn, it's dynamic Lisa Sliwa, outspoken national director of America's most celebrated public defenders, the Guardian Angels. In Attitude, Lisa draws on her years of experience patrolling New York
City's meanest streets to provide women (and the men who care about them) with
sensible and successful tactics for self-protection. Hers is the first book ever to arm
women with the only weapons that work: the street smarts to avoid danger and the
confidence to escapte it. A savvy guide but first of all a souvenir book of a spirit, of
an era. This book is a tribute to urban flavors from the early days of the Hip Hop
scene and its favorite playground for graffitis. The trains of New York.
Edited by Crown Publishers, in 1986.
