Printed Ephemera — 1913
The Late Miss E.W Davison
Emily Wilding Davison (1872-1913). Emily Wilding Davison gave up her teaching post to become a career militant. She served nine prison sentences and endured many sessions of hunger strike and force-feeding for a range of offences including obstruction, stone throwing, window smashing and assaulting a Baptist minister she mistook for the Liberal MP David Lloyd George. In the 1913 Derby she ran out onto the racetrack in an attempt to stop the King's horse. She received serious head injuries and died 4 days later.
