Honor Blackman'S Self Defense Book, 1965 !

Honor Blackman is a remarkable woman. She was Cathy Gale in The Avengers in the early 1960s and she was one of the greatest of all Bond girls as Pussy Galore in Goldfinger in 1964. Blackman was an icon of the 1960s and, like most folks who become famous, she brought out a book at the height of her celebrity.


Back in 1965 with the assistance of stunt arrangers Joe and Doug Robinson, Honor Blackman decided to put the knowledge of martial arts and judo in particular she had learned for her role as Cathy Gale in The Avengers to good use. Her role as a beautiful, non-nonsense woman who could stand up for herself mentally and physically made her an icon for feminists in the 1960s.








The book Honor Blackmans Book of Self-Defence was published by Andre Deutsch (the Dutch edition was entitled Handen Thuis Heren! Hands Off, Gentlemen!) and was amongst the first ever self-defense books aimed specifically at women.
