Emily Davison. Muerte en el Derby de Epsom.

I reality,the only thing that helped women get the right to vote was the outbreak of war.Women had to take over the mens work,literally "proving their worth"while the men went to fight.During this period,the women held the country together,because basically we lost most of our men in the trenches,so that after the war,parliament couldn't really NOT give (some) women the vote.Only householders over the age of 30 were given the right to vote.All other women had to wait until 1928.

la tia taba loca!

Her death did not do much at the time however because she was considered mentally ill for this suicidal act. It was even recorded that the public was more intersted in the health of the horse rather than Emily's cause

Emily Wanted The Rights For Woman To Vote, But No One Listened, So She Tried All Sorts Of Dangerous Things To Kill Herself To Make People Listen To Woman, I Think That We Should Be Proud Of What She Had Done For Us, Otherwise woman Would Not Be Voting Or Be Able To Be A Nurse/ Any Other Job That Is Really Suitable For A Man

why would run in front of a horse!?

this is stupid, if she had lived she would have been able to do more for womens rights, yes? A stupid way of trying to achieve something.

dying for a cause has more of an impact. plus, her death was sure to get into the newspapers because she did this at England's most famous horserace thus reaching millions. Everyone who was anyone attended this race, even Queen Victoria herself was present.

... at the derby. though, this derby was attended by her grandson, George V.

oh ok aha mee too.

Ohhh that's good! :]
Sorry, am a bit of a horse lover. As long as the horse lived. haha, but she did a very brave thing.
