Fairly common sense advice for women travelling in groups or by themselves. However, this would be a very valuable guide for someone traveling for the first time.
Handy book. Most tips are commonsense, others are interesting and fun, yet a few are questionable. E.g., I wouldn't recommend looking for people in Internet chat rooms and then meeting up with them in their respective foreign countries.
