It was an interesting idea but I found the pacing too choppy to really keep up with. Also didn't think the girls were visually distinctive enough to keep up with who's who in such a largish cast. YMMV.

There's something intriguing about stories building on historical events twisting in a way that could have change our past in different ways. The first part of Tony Wolf's Suffrajitsu: Mrs Pankhurst's Amazons, Votes for Woman, is taking us in the middle of suffragette movement, right where Mrs Emmeline Pankhurst and her daughter Christabel lead their somewhat militant movement speaking out all over the United Kingdom.
The story builds on a portrayal of characters important for the history of women's movements, suffrage movement and feminism and adds a twist in form of secret all-woman bodyguard group for the Pankhursts that has been trained in fight and tactics to protect their leaders.
The main character, leader of Pankhurst's Amazons, Persephone Wright and her women are not afraid to risk their life and it does get them to some difficult situations with the law. The true story of this series kicks of at the end of the first issue, we've got a conspiracy to deal with and Persephone is the one to be solving it.
I can't even voice how excited I am for this series. I've been working my way through the history of suffrage and suffragette movement (slower than I'd liked to) so reading something based on these prominent characters that shaped the way our society acts toward women (and helped a great lot) is a great thing. I've enjoyed the story very much and I loved the art style. I can't wait for the other two issues, this is one of the comic books I just won't be able to get enough.

Intriguing, but mostly set up for the plot so far. With more installations completing the story, it might get better.
