Emily Davison was born in 1872 in London, she was one of
the most famous suffragettes for her investment to bridge the gap
between women's rights and men's rights. For her, women were not second
class citizens and they had to have the same job opportunity, the same
wages and the same rank in the society as men.
To
reach her goal, she integrated a women's association named Women's
Social and Political Union, created by Emmeline Pankhurst. This
association stood up for women's right, by orginizing demonstrations.
She was imprisoned several times for public disturbances. In jail,
she went on hunger strike to draw the attention of the politicians on
their cause.
But her most
radical action, was in 1913, during a derby. She went to the
horse race, and tried to stop the king's horse. Unfortunately, the
horse knocked her down. She died in martyr. After that, nobody can
deny or refuse to consider their struggle.
