Move into the assailant and strike with the palm heel to the face.
Note the Reactions of this self defense strike/move: The possible responses will vary depending on the strike point.

A palm heel strike, also called an open hand tiger claw strike, to the nose will drive the head back, and the attacker may step back and bring one or both hands up to the injured area. Withdraw responses will be more dramatic depending on the strength of the impact.

The nose is a great target,in women's self defense, simply because it is in the center of the face and breaks or bleeds easily. The eyes will water making any escape or follow-up self defense move safer.

A strike to the chin may have less of an affect than to the nose. However, a palm heel strike to the jaw can easily create pain. It does not take much power to unhinge the jawbone, especially if the mouth is open.

Here is a bonus technique with a Palm Heel Strike.

When the assault is life threatening you have to use your WITS (Whatever It Takes).

Another follow up self defense move would be to go below with a Knee Kick, since the head is back. Remember, self-protection is not magical, it is simply bio-mechanical!
