The Cortege of Emily Wilding Davison, London, June 14, 1913. British suffragette Emily Wilding Davison (1872-1913) fought for votes for women. 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. She died after being hit by King George V's horse Anmer at the 1913 Derby when she walked onto the track during the race. Her funeral was organised by the WSPU. A procession of 5,000 suffragettes and their supporters accompanied her coffin and 50,000 people lined the route through London. From "The Suffragette Movement.
