Emily Davison
Emily Wilding Davison (11 October 1872 – 8 June 1913) was a militant suffragette who fought for women's suffrage in Britain. She was jailed on nine occasions and force-fed 49 times. She stepped in front of King George V's horse Anmer at the Epsom Derby on 4 June 1913, suffering fatal injuries. Her funeral on 14 June 1913 was organised by the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU). Thousands of suffragettes accompanied the coffin and tens of thousands of people lined the streets of London. After a service in Bloomsbury, her coffin was taken by train to the family grave in Morpeth, Northumberland.〔
Modern historians agree that Davison was trying to disturb the Derby to draw attention to her cause, rather than to commit suicide,〔 and 2013 analysis of newsreel has supported the idea that Davison was reaching up to attach a scarf to the bridle of the King's horse. Analysis of newsreel also indicated that her position before she stepped out onto the track would have given her a clear view of the oncoming race, further countering the belief that she ran out in a haphazard way to kill herself.
==Early life and education==
Davison was born in Blackheath, Kent, the daughter of Charles Davison (of Morpeth, Northumberland) and Margaret Davison (of Longhorsley, Northumberland). She had two sisters and a brother; also various half-siblings from her father's first marriage including a half-brother, retired naval captain Henry Jocelyn Davison, who gave evidence at her inquest.〔''The Times'', Wednesday, 11 June 1913; p.15; Issue 40235; column F.〕
She later attended Kensington Prep School and won a bursary to Royal Holloway College in 1891 to study literature and modern foreign languages.〔''Higher Magazine'', Royal Holloway College, Issue 15, 2011 pp18-19〕 However, she was forced to drop out in January 1892 because her father died and her mother could not afford the fees of £30 a term.〔Royal Holloway, University of London Archives student register〕 She then became a private governess before becoming a teacher in Edgbaston and Worthing, raising enough money to study Biology, Chemistry, English Language and Literature at St Hugh's College, Oxford.〔〔http://www.aim25.ac.uk/cgi-bin/search2?coll_id=6687&inst_id=65〕 She obtained first-class honours in her final exams, though women were not at that time admitted to degrees at Oxford. Davison then began teaching the daughters of the Moorhouse family in Spratton, Northamptonshire.〔See 1901 Census for Spratton, Northamptonshire〕
