Front cover of a graphic novel about women suffragettes using jiu jitsu. Has a middle class Edwardian woman with angry face, flipping over a scared man. Graphic novel by Tony Wolf and Joao Vidra
Edwardian poster showing a woman using jiu jitsu to fend off a male attacker. Text states “safe from attack when you know Jiu Jitsu”
Edwardian newspaper political cartoon showing a small woman in a strong stance in front of a fence with men draped over it from her actions. Before her there are police looking frightened and uneasy. Text says “the suffragette that knew jiu jitsu”
#Suffrajitsu!
Early #suffragettes were taught #JiuJitsu by the fabulously talented Edith Garrud, to not only protect themselves and their children, but also the leaders of their movement. Disparaging men called them Amazons - poor, scared, little fellas ☺️ #edithgarrud #myhero #jiujitsuforall
