suffragette, Edith Garrud, Old baggage, Enola Holmes, autodefensa feminista.Resumen
Este artículo explora el resurgimiento y la representación de Edith Garrud, el arte del suffrajitsu y las jujitsuffragettes en la novela Old baggage (2018), de Lissa Evans y las películas de Enola Holmes, de Harry Bradbeer (2020, 2022). Estos productos rescatan la figura de esta instructora de jiu-jitsu y sus compañeras y aprendices suffragettes para responder a ciertas tergiversaciones sobre estas mujeres presentes en narrativas y representaciones del movimiento sufragista tanto históricas como contemporáneas. Al recurrir a la figura de Garrud y sus lecciones de autodefensa a las suffragettes, la novela y las películas reivindican las contribuciones de estas mujeres al feminismo. Estas obras no sólo iluminan la utilidad y relevancia del jiu-jitsu para la propia protección de las mujeres, sino también el potencial de este arte marcial para empoderar a las mujeres y subvertir los estereotipos de género. Old Baggage y Enola Holmes ofrecen versiones más precisas y fieles de las jujitsuffragettes y su entrenadora que las ofrecidas por los detractores del sufragio femenino durante ese período restaurando y conmemorando así la contribución de estas mujeres a la primera ola del feminismo.
