Tools for staying safe
:  As a female, what are some basic tools I can use to lessen the chances of being attacked if I am walking alone?  
ANSWER: First of all, don't walk alone in isolated places! Common sense is the key here. To further answer your question however, the best thing to do is to carry a cell phone, be aware of your surroundings, stay away from headphones of any kind and above all, do NOT walk in isolated places or at night by yourself. It is helpful if you can play out possible scenarios in your mind before walking on your own, therefore, you will have a plan when and if something happens. The optimum choice is to walk with someone else or even walk your dog for further protection. If you are unable to come up with a plan in your own mind of what you would do if a situation should arise, you could always invest in a self-defense class which would not only heighten your awareness, but also give you plausible solutions; mentally and physically.
