Edith Margaret #Garrud, born Edith Margaret Williams, was one of the first female martial arts teachers in Europe. She is known for training a unit of bodyguards in #jūjutsu techniques for the Women's Social and Political Union, so that they could respond to physical attacks on them by some anti-feminist men.
