You said she looked like she "hated" you when she attacked. Did she have her ears back, and do a kind of sideways sidle approach just before she attacked? I have two male cats who are only slightly older than your girl, and this approach and then attack is the way they start a game of wrestle and race. (They are doing it now as I type). It sounds like she is treataing you like another cat, and she doesn;t realize thaat you don't haave a fur coat to protect you the way another cat would.
Please think very carefully before having her declawed. Declawing is a major surgery, and involves removing not just the claw but the entire first knuckle to the joint. If anything goes wrong, and a nerve is injured, she could be in pain for the rest of her life. If you don't believe me Google declawing and look at teh sites that pop up, especially the SPCA's.
