Jujitsuffrajettes

The Amazons of London
Publisher Delcourt
COLLECTION Coup de tête
London, 1910: Emmeline Pankhurst’s English suffragettes must face violent police repression using... jujitsu!

Édith Garrud is considered the first woman to teach self-defense to other women. To protect protesters from police violence, she will teach jujitsu to suffragette leader Emmeline Pankhurst’s bodyguards, known as "the Amazons." By using their attackers' own size against them, the suffragettes shake up the public mindset, kick ass, demonstrate the strength of the "weaker sex," and win the battle in 1918: the right to vote!
