Three fantastic women wowed us all by defending themselves. Here are the links to their incredible stories:
An 83-year-old great-grandmother from Santa Fe, NM thwarted an attempted purse snatching with a gas nozzle - http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,338114,00.html
A 95-year-old, wheelchair-bound woman from Bartlesville, OK fought off a drunken home intruder with a screwdriver - http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,352518,00.html
A barefoot and nightie-wearing 95-year-old widow activated her attack alarm and chased her would-be burglar into the street - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-452504/99-year-old-nightie-fights-masked-intruder.html
