Who was Emily Wilding Davison?
The suffragettes were members of the women's suffrage
movement in the late 19th and early 20th centuries who
advocated for the right of women to vote. The term "suffragette"
was coined in 1906 by the Daily Mail newspaper to distinguish
the more militant activists within the movement from the
broader suffragist movement, which encompassed a range of
tactics and ideologies.
Suffragettes employed a variety of tactics to draw attention to
their cause and put pressure on the government to grant
women the right to vote. These tactics included peaceful
protests, marches, demonstrations, petitions, and civil
disobedience. However, some suffragettes also engaged in
more militant actions, such as property damage, arson, and
hunger strikes, in their quest for political equality.
Emily Wilding Davison was a prominent suffragette and activist
who became known for her militant actions in support of
women's suffrage. She was born in 1872 and became involved
in the suffrage movement while studying at Oxford University.
, Davison joined the Women's Social and Political Union
(WSPU), a leading suffragette organisation founded by
Emmeline Pankhurst.
Davison gained notoriety for her acts of protest, including
interrupting political meetings, engaging in hunger strikes while
imprisoned, and committing acts of vandalism. However, she is
perhaps best known for her dramatic protest at the Epsom
Derby on June 4, 1913. During the race, Davison stepped onto
the track and attempted to grab hold of the bridle of King
George V's horse, Anmer. She was struck by the horse and
suffered fatal injuries, dying a few days later in the hospital.
Davison's death brought international attention to the suffrage
movement and elevated her status as a martyr for the cause of
women's rights. While her motivations and intentions remain a
subject of debate among historians, her actions and sacrifice
have come to symbolise the courage and dedication of the
suffragettes in their struggle for political equality.
A suffragette was a member of an activist women's
organisation in the early 20th century who, under the banner
"Votes for Women", fought for the right to vote in public
