On the History of Women's Self-Defence by Imad Hchang
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 26.1 MB
Overview: This book examines the emergence and development of a women’s self- defense movement during the Progressive Era as women across the nation began studying boxing and jiu-jitsu. The women’s self-defense movement arose simultaneously with the rise of the physical culture movement, concerns about the strength and future of the nation, fears associated with immigration and rapid urbanization, and the expansion of women’s political and social rights. However, the meaning and transformation wrought through self-defense training varied from individual to individual. Women were inspired to take up self-defense training for very personal reasons that ranged from protecting themselves from stranger attacks on the street to rejecting gendered notions about feminine weakness and empowering themselves. Women’s training in boxing and jiu-jitsu was both a reflection of and a response to the larger women’s rights movement and the campaign for the vote. Self-defense training also opened up conversations about the less visible violence that many women faced in their own private lives.
