Self-defense guidance for females 1908

A demonstration of the "gamp" as a useful weapon for female self-defense against hooligans in accordance with changes to the manufacture of umberella sticks, now made out of metal rather than wood which allowed for far greater combative potential. The Sketch suggests a first move of "knocking the hooligan's hat over his eyes" before progressing to the more serious measures of using the umberella as a bayonet and targeting the face or throat. The caption also comments on the increased focus on female self-defense, particularly in America
