Well I could have celebrated the 135th birthday of Eleanor Roosevelt, but I'm not doing that today.
Today it's Emily Wilding Davison, English suffragette. My hero.
Emily Davison was a member of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) and a militant fighter for her cause. She was arrested on nine occasions, went on hunger strike seven times, and was force fed on forty-nine occasions.
On the 4th of June 1913, she walked onto the track during the Derby Stakes at Epsom Downs Racecourse, and was struck by King George V's horse Anmer.
She died in Epsom Cottage Hospital from a fracture at the base of her skull, having never regained consciousness, on the 8th of June,
May she live forever in our memories.
