Bodyguard unit : Edith Garrud, women's suffrage, and jujitsu Author: Xavier, Clement | ||
Price: $14.75 |
Summary:
In the early twentieth century, women in England demanded the right to vote-and faced violent retaliation. Rather than back down, the suffragist group Women's Social and Political Union formed its own security unit. Edith Garrud, a pioneering self-defense instructor, trained them to fight back against abuse and arrest while pursuing long-overdue rights. This graphic novel retelling of Garrud's life reveals the resilience and (often physical) resistance of her era's voting-rights activists.
