Who would be so stupid as to try and pin a flag on a horse going at 35 MPH? Maybe she was ignorent of the speed of the animal, but its a mystery what she was thinking at the time.
Its a shame though this was June 1913, and it took WW1 and men been killed in trenches to give you what you wanted, but are womens condition any better or happier in themselves?
@emmhorse it wasn't suicide. she was trying to promote the cause by pinning the suffragettes banner to the king's horse. she had bought a return train ticket and a ticket to a suffragette dance that night
She didn't intentionally get killed-she tried to pin the suffragette/suffragist banner to the king's horse and got killed doing it. Sad but defiantly not suicide.
she DID not forget how to eat... that would just be dumb..... its called the cat and mouse act...ever heard of that? its where the suffragettes didnt eat so that they got released from prison...jeezz
This woman isnt stupid she is a martyr for all the work she did she dedicated herself to this and left her job teaching people to help votes for women i think if it wasnt for her the sufregettes wouldnt be heard as much for her death we wouldnt learn it in history ok we would learn about the sufregettes beacuse they have made a change to make us women get the vote but for what she did standing in front of a horse to get attention for votes for women
Emily Davison practised stopping horses ,near her home, for two weeks prior this incident. This shows that she did not intend to sacrafice her life. However, whenever commiting to an act like this she was surely endangering her life.
she wasnt dumb she was actually very clever... she had a degree and you dnt understand what times where like then and how badly women where treated back then because you werent there, i think it was a good thing and it got women equal with men like they are today, and i dont think you should be critisizing them, it is important british history that shaped our world today.
What's so great about her? Greater were the russian women of WW2-fought beside the men; Suffrugettes gave white feathers to boys,proving to all, what hypocrites they were! Remember Lilya Litvak [Russian fighter pilot, killed in action]- not Davison-trying to kill a horse!;
I agree. How FUCKING dare those cunts give white feathers to those guys who didn't want to fight in the war, with your friends and brothers being shot next to you or drowning in mud, not to mention the war only starting over some idiot who got shot; nothing to do with this country
they are not cunts, they got us the flippin vote! they were the only ones who had guts enough to stand up for womens rights and actually do something about getting the vote. oh and btw your grammer of where you put 'FUCKING' isnt quite right so next time try not to swear won't you it makes you look stupid. But i dont agree with the white feather thing either, though nor do i agree with inequality due to gender, which they fought and sacrificed their whole lives to fight for. Stupid people.
Well.... you can tell that you really know your history... they only gave white feathers to men did they, you should try and be as dedicated and protest for something that you believe in like they did. Then and only then do i think you have the right to criticise them
she was fixing a rosette onto the horse which either said "Votes For Women" or whichever group she belonged to. The rosette in question was never found but, she had two huge flags sewn into her jacket. She never meant to die. She had a RETURN ticket to her home dated for that evening.
thnx 4 uploadin this, i hav 2 write an essay on the suffragettes 4 history coursework and for people who say she's drunk, one theory is that she was trying to fix a flag to the kings horse so it would be flying the votes for women flag, she did not intend to die... but i must say, i ride, and doing something like that potentially is suicide.
Men made this and they can break it also. Woman need to be able to return to been real women again, this generation, and even the next generation wouldnt thank you for it, but eventually women would be happy again, which would also result in a happier family life.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
she should have just stayed at home and put the kettle on and got the dinner ready like every woman in england, this is a mans world you see, and we wear the trousers ok
Your right mate, women have never been unhappier since they got equal rights. They have careers, therefore ignoring all the things that women stood for previously, their earning more money but there still not happy. Ill tell you what it is, they have been robbed down the years of their proper identity and function. The woman wasnt made to go out and work, they should be running the house and function by keeping the family together, but what do we have instead divorces and broken familys, and its
so YOU'D be happier if you coudln't vote, couldn't have legal custody of your children, couldn't own property, coudln't be whatever career you want, and coudln't even be able to order your own damn breakfast without having someone decide for you?
No, she wasn't. Why the hell would you commit suicide against nature, she is a woman, end of, she should have just accepted that and stayed in the kitchen.
@AminElhassan109 If it wasn't for women like her then us women wouldn't have the vote so I applaude her bravery. I'm no feminist by any means and I think the behaviour of some women is digusting however I think it's demeaning and cruel to 'stick women in the kitchen' like caged animals because do you know what? We were eventually going to break free and escape from our cage.
i dont know, it was thought she was meant to pin the suffragette flag to the king's horse. but as other people have mentioned, she was an educated women. why didnt she realised a galloping horse is very difficult to stop and attach something to without dying!
She was meaning to stop the horse, or another theory suggests that she was trying to pin a suffragette flag onto the reins of the horse, so the kings horse flew the flag for their cause [theoretically].
Either of these theories could be true, however I do disbelieve that she did it to commit suicide. She could've used any other horse. ¬_¬ I don't know. But I don't think it was suicide.
she was obviouslt sane you stupid fuckers she didnt mean to die she meant to run infront of the horse and dirupt the race. And you are right i would not die for the vote but she was a fuckin amazin person like ghandi was.
i duno what to think all i thort is that she jumped infront of the horse but nah ive read all ur descutions i duno // i know i wunt kill myself to have a vote
I think that all the evidence that I have, she was a Martyr, activist and sane. She used her return train ticket and secrecy as a cover-up. It would have looked very odd if a known activist had only bought a one-way ticket to the big race. She had arranged to meet a close friend for lunch the next day, perfect cover! She was a well-educated woman- a first class degree from Oxford University- and a well-known activist.
I've studied this in history and she has clearly not commited suicide! She simply wants to protest for votes.. and gets dragged by with the horse. She was carrying the Suffragettes flags in her pockets. And she also had purchsed a return ticket so she must have wanted to go home!she also had dates in her diary for the following days after the derby.
Yes, the suffragettes wanted a martyr, and thats why they never argued the case (that she hadnt commited suicide)
But why would she ONLY be trying to pin a flag to the bridle she must of know it was very likely for her to be seriously injured or killed, she wasn't an idiot she was an educated woman so that always seems really weird to me!
So I think that while it may not of been her intention to die she knew the risks and was prepared to die for her cause.
She didn't throw herself under the horse - she was trying to pin a 'Votes For Women' flag to Anmer's (the king's horse) bridle. It was protest, not suicide.

It is forgotten that many men did not have the vote either. Some facts:-
Reform Act 1832:- Resulted in 15% of males having the vote.
Representation of the People Act 1884:- Still 40% of males still could not vote.
Representation of the People Act 1918:- Votes for males over 21, females over 30.
Representation of the People Act 1928 - Votes for all over 21.
The jockey did not have the vote either.

Saying she didn't throw herself under the horse is right
But thts not to say she didn't commit suicide
There's arguments for both
I mean, why did she buy a single ticket instead of a return?
That could have been because she was intending to kill herself, or because she knew she'd get arrested etc.
And she didn't actually have a flag on her by the way
