We re learning about this at school and no one knows for sure if she wanted to die or if she did it by accident it was said that she was trying to pin a suffragette badge into the kings horse but she got hit,she also had a train ticket in her pocket for a return and she had posted bets for the race after this one and she had a ticket for the suffragette meeting so maybe she didn't want to commit suicide??..maybe she jut wanted to pin the badge on the horse but it whent wrong??...

This kind of remark really annoys me! You clearly have a very low level of education to think it is only men who kill there spouse or child. Women are equally as evil as men. Don't get me wrong I applaud Emily for her courage in fighting for her cause, however there are more appropriate ways to be noticed. Even if she did want to kill herself for the cause, she could of easily performed self-immolation like the Tibetan monks. No one else had to be hurt for her to be heard!

This was a selfish act in my opinion.

This is such a stupid comment. Firstly your comment about homicide is completely irrelevant, ill let you figure out why. No (decent) person kills or harms INNOCENT people (like the jockey) to further their own cause unless absolutely necessary. She could have seriously injured the jockey.

Also, if she didn't intend to kill herself then this was an incredibly stupid act from a woman who was clearly intelligent.

Herbert Jones the jockey said he was haunted ny that poor woman's face, it should be noted that he committed suicide...
