The Dictators

Suffragist rolled in the Epson Derby.


The suffragist Nancy Davidson was brutally rolled by the king's horse at the Epson Derby yesterday 4 of June in an act of manifestation.


Emily Wilding Davison was born in Blackheath in southeast London on 11 October 1872. She studied at Royal Holloway College and at Oxford University, although women are not allowed to take degrees.

By 1911, Davison was becoming increasingly militant.

 Yesterday, 4 June , she ran out in the last curve of the Epson Derby in front of the king's horse as it was taking part in it. Her purposes 
were suffragist ones, it is believed  that she was trying to put a suffragette poster on a horse to be allowed the vote for women but she was tragically and brutally trampled. At the moment she is in critical state debating between life and death. The rider called Herbert Jones suffered a mild contussion. 

This is not the first violent act of this women who was calified as one of the most agressive suffragist. Some of her suffragist partners questioned her methods. Emily begun to appear in different public acts to interrupt the public order throwing stones and attacking directly some people.

Her actitude took her to prision in 9 times where she decided to go on a hunger strike as a way of protest. Emily suffered serious fractures in the head and  the spine when the guards try to fed her up by the force. When she was serving a sentence in Holloway she decided to throw herself downstairs as a protes of her bad conditions.

She is actually nearly dead but if she recover we are sure that she won't finish her personally suffragist movement and she won't stop until she get her objective, the most important, the vote for women.

  2. I think it's a good article because it doesn't tell us only the news, it also say a bit about the biography of Davidson. Also, I think it explains us very well the "accident"

    Good job!!!

  3. I really like this article because it talks to me about the experience of a suffrage woman who fought and suffered a lot so that women could have the vote, I also like a lot because we are watching a movie with Sam that deals with this and we can see what they did to earn the right to vote and what it was like to live in those times.

    VERY WELL JOB!

  4. I found this article really interesting! I understand the actions of the suffragist and their search for equality of vote between men and women, even though their methods were supposed to be "radical". I also found interesting the Emily studied at Oxford University and at a major college, because women in that age weren't usually accepted in such important institutions. Very good news!

  5. In my opinion this is a quite good article, because it represents how the suffragist fought to have the same rights than men. Emily was an exemplary woman, cause she fought as much as she could,dying in the attempt. These acts have made both men and women today legally, have the same priviledges.

    Congratulations!!!!
