In 1910, Emmeline Pankhurst’s English suffragettes face violent police repression. Their weapon? Turning the violence against the attackers themselves… thanks to jujitsu!

Edith Garrud is considered the first woman to teach female self-defense. Face with the police violence against peaceful protesters, she teaches jujitsu to suffragette leader Emmeline Pankhurst’s bodyguards, who become known as "the Amazons." By using arm locks, throws, and takedowns, the suffragettes shake up preconceptions, kick ass, and show how strong the "fairer sex" can be as they march into battle to win the right to vote in 1918!
