EDITORS COMMENTS
In Memoriam: Emily Wilding Davison (1872-1913) This poignant photograph captures the image of Emily Wilding Davison, a pioneering British suffragette who made the ultimate sacrifice in the fight for women's right to vote. The image is taken from a memorial leaflet produced for the service held in her honor at St. George's Church in Bloomsbury on June 14, 1913. The service was conducted by Reverends H. Baumgarten and Claud Hinscliffe, both members of the Church League for Women's Suffrage. The ornate frame surrounding Emily's photograph adds a sense of reverence and solemnity to the occasion. The text below the image reads, "Greater love hath no man than this, that he laid down his life for his friend." Emily Wilding Davison's legacy as a suffragette is etched in history. She gained notoriety when she stepped in front of King George V's horse, Anmer, during the Epsom Derby on June 4, 1913. Her actions resulted in her death three days later. Davison's tragic demise galvanized the suffrage movement, bringing renewed attention and sympathy to their cause. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by suffragettes like Emily Wilding Davison in their relentless pursuit of women's suffrage. The date below the image, June 1913, underscores the historical significance of the moment, making this an invaluable piece of social and political history.
