EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative postcard print, published by Mary Evans Picture Library, captures the enigmatic figure of Emily Davison in academic garb, a poignant reminder of her intellectual pursuits and unwavering commitment to women's suffrage. Born in 1872, Emily Davison was a trailblazing English activist who devoted her life to the cause of women's right to vote. The image, titled "The Late Miss E.W. Davison," shows Davison in a traditional academic robe and mortarboard, her serious expression conveying a deep sense of determination and conviction. The board bears the inscription "In Commemoration of EMILY DAVISON," a testament to her enduring legacy. Davison's academic background is an often-overlooked aspect of her story. She attended Royal Holloway College in Egham, Surrey, where she studied mathematics and physics. Her education provided her with a solid foundation in critical thinking and analytical skills, which she put to use in her activism. The photo was taken likely in the late 1890s or early 1900s, before Davison became a prominent suffragette. Her academic attire in the print serves as a powerful reminder of the intellectual depth and complexity of the suffrage movement and its leaders. Emily Davison's most famous act of civil disobedience occurred on June 8, 1913, when she stepped in front of King George V's horse, Anmer, during the Epsom Derby. She suffered severe injuries and died four days later, becoming a martyr for the suffrage cause. This postcard print offers a unique glimpse into the life of this remarkable woman, showcasing her intellectual prowess and unwavering commitment to the fight for women's rights. It serves as a poignant reminder of the rich history of the suffrage movement and the brave individuals who fought for a cause that would ultimately change the course of history.
