Revolting Women: The Ju-Jutsuffragettes
This post is part of a series on the theme of women and protest. The full series is collected under the tag “Revolting Women”.
My choice of subject for our Revolting Women series was decided the moment I saw the picture below, an event which caused me to loudly shout “GET IN!” and do an air-punch with great abandon.
The lady in this image is Mrs Edith Margaret Garrud (1872-1971), and she appears to have a policeman in an armlock.
It turns out that it’s only an actor playing the hapless bobby, because Edith is the person responsible for teaching the Suffragettes jujutsu

I love that post so much, & the excellent Mrs Garrud. I think everyone should learn jiujitsu, krav maga or some other battlefield martial art.

All men are created equal, it is only men themselves who place themselves above equality.
