EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment of defiance and determination of a Ju-Jitsu suffragette, Mrs. Garrud, as she overpowers a policeman during a protest in the early 1910s. In the image, the policeman, taken by surprise, reaches out to apprehend the small but formidable woman. However, Mrs. Garrud, who stood at only four feet ten inches tall, swiftly forms a scissors hold, a classic Ju-Jitsu technique, immobilizing the officer's arms. With a deft hand-lock from a punch, she seizes control of the policeman's wrist, rendering him powerless. The officer's attempts to resist are futile as she keeps him down with an arm-lock across his knee. With a burst of strength, Mrs. Garrud throws the policeman, sending him crashing to the ground. Mrs. Garrud, a well-known suffragette and skilled practitioner of Japanese wrestling, used her Ju-Jitsu skills to defend herself and her fellow suffragettes during their protests for women's right to vote. This photograph is a testament to the courage and resilience of the suffragette movement and the innovative ways in which they overcame opposition. The art of Ju-Jitsu, a martial sport that emphasizes using an opponent's energy and leverage against them, became a popular form of self-defense for women during this era. Mrs. Garrud's demonstration of these techniques not only earned her the respect of her peers but also helped to pave the way for the recognition of women's rights and their ability to protect themselves.
