History
Emily Wilding Davison 5 February 2008

The only suffragette killed in militant action

Emily Wilding Davison was a听leading activist in the campaign for women's suffrage in the UK. It is widely thought that she committed suicide by throwing herself under the King鈥檚 horse at the Derby in 1913. But the writer and political campaigner Barbara Gorna believes her death was an accident, and has started a campaign听for this to be听acknowledged in a plaque to听Emily at听St George's Church in Bloomsbury where her funeral procession started. She also wants a statue of her erected听in Westminster. Barbara tells Jenni why she is campaigning on behalf of this remarkable suffragette.

The photo (right)shows Jenni holding the original Suffragette sash that Emily Wilding Davison tried to put over the King's horse during the race.
