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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis graphic retelling of Garrud's life reveals the resilience and (often physical) resistance of her era's voting-rights activists.
