Edith Garrud trained the Bodyguard unit of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) in jujutsu self-defense techniques. Her accomplishments and sacrifices are something I am grateful for today.

This painting will be available through Southern Exposure's 2017 Auction, We Can Be Heros, Saturday, March 18, 2017 - 6:00 PM at Minnesota Street Project, 1275 Minnesota Street, San Francisco, CA 94107. Southern Exposure - their dedication to the arts and building a community over the 40+ years they have been around - is another thing I am grateful for.
