Society has been perpetuating the myth that women are weak and incapable since the birth of the patriarchy. Edith Garrud said "fuck that shit" and taught martial arts to a bunch of seriously brave suffragettes, creating the elite group of thirty fighters cheekily dubbed The Bodyguard. These women went toe to toe with cops at rallies (literally brawling with them) to protect prominent suffragettes from arrest, used disguises to evade detection, and lots of other CIA-style tricks to protect fellow activists - and it was all thanks to the badass Edith Garrud. 

INTRO - 30:00 : Deanna presents our badass person of the week, Edith Garrud.
