WOMEN's RIGHTS - DERBY 1913 - A Moment of Tragedy and Triumph
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from the Granger Collection takes us back to a historic moment in women's rights activism. It captures the chaotic scene that unfolded at the Epsom Derby on June 4,1913, moments after militant suffragette Emily Wilding Davison courageously threw herself before King George V's horse. In this powerful image, we witness a crowd rushing onto the racetrack, their faces filled with shock and disbelief. Miss Davison lies motionless on the track, her act of protest having cost her life. Jockey Herbert Jones can be seen nearby, recovering from minor injuries sustained during this tragic incident. The photograph encapsulates both the fervor and danger surrounding early feminism in England. The suffragette movement fought tirelessly for women's right to vote, often resorting to extreme measures to draw attention to their cause. Miss Davison's sacrifice became an indelible symbol of their unwavering commitment. As we reflect upon this poignant image today, it serves as a reminder of how far society has come in recognizing gender equality while acknowledging the sacrifices made by those who came before us. This historical snapshot invites contemplation about our ongoing responsibility to uphold and protect women's rights worldwide.
