The first thing to do is take her to the vet and have her checked out. Cats can't tell us if they don't feel good, but they can become very sensitive and not want to be touched (it may actually hurt to be touched).
If the vet says she is OK ask; either the vet or someone who works at an animal shelter what to do. These people know all about animal behavior and can tell you how to deal with this behavior, usually at no cost.
I got a cat from a shelter and he would let you pet him a little and then suddenly bite you. It took some time and patience; but, we can sit and pet him for a long time now without any biting.
