Rather than back down, suffragist group the Women's Social and Political Union formed an all-women security unit. Activist leader Emmeline Pankhurst asked Edith Garrud to train them. These \"jujitsuffragettes\" fought against abuse and arrest while pursuing long overdue rights.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n Edith Garrud was a pioneering instructor of women's self-defense and a pivotal figure in British women’s suffrage. This graphic retelling of Garrud's life reveals the resilience and (sometimes physical) resistance of her era's voting-rights activists.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46498398142622,"sku":"HPC-9798765607473","price":32.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9798765607473.jpg?v=1770792651","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9798765607473","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
